::::::Yeah, right. Flamethrowers are an effective psychological and physical weapon that have been used since the Pacific Campaign and are still being employed by the UNSC. We used the most efficient psychological murder weapon against two Japanese cities and killed thousands of non-combatants. We, as a species, are hardly entitled to judge what would be inhumane when it comes to military technology and its usage. If we fully understood the mechanics of plasma material and the tactics behind using it, I'm sure we would have initiated the necessary development programs to start producing plasma rifles as part of mass military fabrication lines. Four hundred years: that's approximately the time span of UNSC history. We haven't seen ''any'' trace of human plasma weapon development in canon so far. That's reason to believe we simply didn't think about plasma as a means of feeding weapons, we're just very comfortable with the old gunpowder design, or we don't understand the workings of plasma. But we did create an FTL engine, so the latter possibility looks shaky. I'm sticking to the comfort-oriented option. --[[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> 15:11, December 25, 2009 (UTC) | |||
