This is also how the [[plasma pistol]]'s overcharge shot works: A small magnetic generator is installed in the hilt of the pistol and, when fired, the bolt tracks its target using a very simple motion tracking system built into the magnetic generator which alters the field to make the plasma move. A larger version of this effect is seen in the [[plasma torpedo]]es used by Covenant [[capital ship]]s. | This is also how the [[plasma pistol]]'s overcharge shot works: A small magnetic generator is installed in the hilt of the pistol and, when fired, the bolt tracks its target using a very simple motion tracking system built into the magnetic generator which alters the field to make the plasma move.

Frank O'Connor, Bungie's former head of public relations, stated in 2006 that the plasma used by the Covenant is not plasma as current science knows it, but something "far more dangerous, arcane, and destructive."<ref>[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive25.pl?read=743326 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''Re: Could Covenant Plasma weapons be disrupted?'']</ref> This claim has not been elaborated on in later sources and some actually indicate otherwise, with ''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' specifically making a note that the Covenant used conventional plasma in imitation of Forerunner particle weaponry.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 103''</ref> | |||
