Re: Could Covenant Plasma weapons be disrupted?

In Response To: Re: Could Covenant Plasma weapons be disrupted? (Frankie) : There's good news and bad news: The bad newsis this: : http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/rocket3x.html#plasma : The good news is that the use of the word "Plasma" is a semantic : employed by 26th century troops to describe the appearance of the weapons : rather than their true scientific attribution. The actual technology is : not plasma as we know it, but something far more dangerous, arcane and : destructive. But Frankie, the Halo universe has given us an explanation for the plasma guns. If, as was stated in one of the books, I think, a plasma rifle discharges a plasma-fied metal (perhaps one not known to present-day humans) and controls it with powerful electromagnets, the blob, to use a technical term, wouldn't disperse. We know that at least Covie shipbound weapons work like this; when they blew up a ship, the blob of plasma it had fired dispersed because the magnetism that was controlling it ceased to be in effect.
