Did the Covenant ever have a proper Shotgun-Type Plasma Weapon?
Yeah, I get that High Tech Swords and Hammers fill the role of close range brawlers for Lizard men and Gorilla dudes but imagine a horde of Grunts with Near to Mid Range Covie Shotguns, that can melt through your armor fast if they manage to get some good shots in, rushing you in the same vein as suicide bombers would.

And yes, I remember that this thing existed but...
The Brute Mauler fired **Bolts**, not **Plasma**.
