- Plasma weaponry is a weapons technology used by both the Resistance and Skynet in the future. Personal pistols, rifles, crew served weapons, and many varieties of vehicular mounted heavy weapons are operational throughout the battlefields of the Future War. With the advent of time travel corrupting the timeline with both knowledge of and even actual artifacts of future technologies the exact date of introduction of plasma weaponry is entirely uncertain.
- Plasma Weaponry refers to Directed Energy Weaponry that uses Plasma. The Covenant employ always follows a distinct pattern regardless of the specific gun; it is stabilized using magnetic fields. Without the field, the plasma dissipates too quickly to be of any real use. The field controls and contains the plasma, without interfering with firing. The plasma sword is an example of this technology, as the magnetic field holds the blade together while allowing it to cut through objects. 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 torpedoes of Covenant cruisers. This information was obtained by Cortana, a UNSC AI, while she was in direct contact with a Covenant ship's data core.
