I think I would try to adapt Forerunner weapons technology to existing weapons, such as a M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle (Spartan Laser), as well as the fielding of smaller and smaller asynchronous linear induction weapons (MAC guns). I disagree with the plasma or energy direction, however, due to the fact that projectile weapons, especially magnetically accelerated ones, are more efficient. You can suppress them, to. Can't do that with an M6 Nonlinear.
