::::Well, we were still using musket bullets five hundred years ago, about the time Hernando Cortes sailed for Mexico. For at least five hundred years we've been using the same basic design of riflepower: gunpowder and a small round or cylindrical-shaped projectile known as a bullet. This simplistic design was more than enough to allow us to kill each other in the order of millions, much more than we'd ever dreamed could be possible by using the sword or the arrow. And what we couldn't satisfyingly kill with riflepower alone, we let [[Nuke|other weapons]] do the job for us. My point is bullets and gunpowder have served us fine up to now, and will continue to serve us fine as long as we feel comfortable with the design. | ::::Well, we were still using musket bullets five hundred years ago, about the time Hernando Cortes sailed for Mexico.

::::Plasma material is something we don't completely control or understand in order to produce weaponry similar to the Covenant's, so we stick to the age-old lead and metal framework, which, by the way, has proven very efficient even in the face of the Covenant. Furthermore, sci-fi culture usually places such futuristic designs as plasma and laser military technology in the hands of superior empires and militaries, e.g. ''aliens'', to create a sentiment of familiarity with our future ascendants. This is the case of Halo as well. --[[User:UNSC Trooper|<font color="darkblue">UNSC Trooper</font>]] [[Image:unsctrooper_small.jpg|14px]] <sup>[[User talk:UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">Talk</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">My Work</font>]]</sub> 07:50, December 24, 2009 (UTC) | ::::Plasma material is something we don't completely control or understand in order to produce weaponry similar to the Covenant's, so we stick to the age-old lead and metal framework, which, by the way, has proven very efficient even in the face of the Covenant.

well good point I guess... | |||
but even if they can't make a new weapon system the old one should still be somewhat good. | |||
Liek the scorpion tank is totally horrible even an isseruction with a RPG can take it down. | |||
Even going down to lowest tech, wouldn't scorpions hav railgun turrets or gauss like the mammoths and predator tanks in CnC 3. I dont know but it seems the UNSC has almost not changed much in gun technology. You would think before the war, which was a still goof couple centuries to research, they could of come up wiht a better weapon. | |||
