My friend and I were discussing what fictional weapons we would bring to a fight. Obviously, being a Halo fan I was like I’d be bring a mother -Yoinking!- Halo ring. This opted my friend to change his answer to a plasma pistol, and he said he would be able to use it to disable my Halo ring.
This is not possible is not possible right? I mean I know it’s not. Back me up please.
It’s possible your friend was thinking to use the plasma pistol EMP function to disable the Halo’s phase pulse generators.

I’m pretty sure he just meant he would shoot the Halo ring itself and that would work.
But could that work? Does the EMP have enough to disable the generators?

In the first Halo game, in the level “Two Betrayals”, Master Chief uses his suit’s shields to fire a short range EMP in the generators, disabling them. So yes, theoretically, another EMP device like an overcharged plasma pistol could also disable the generators, rendering the Halo unable to fire. Of course, you’d need to get on the Halo, find the generators, and fight the Sentinel security forces. But, it’s theoretically possible.
He could use the pistol to simply shoot you before you shoot the Halo ring. But actually using a Halo ring to get rid of one single dude, I mean like one dude not one entity like the Flood, is an overexcessive use of force and you could go to prison for that. But anyway, I believe using a Halo ring is against the mindset behind the concept of the Mantle, so using a Halo ring is as good as one big exclamation of being unworthy of becoming a Reclaimer.

I forgot about that mission. Ok. Well I doubt he’d get through the sentinels

Bringing a Halo ring to a fight?
But seriously, if you wanted to destroy a ring a we know that self destructing a ship’s drive works. As for a plasma pistol, we know it temporarily disables vehicles and shields. Even if you could temporarily disable the ring then it would still boot back up and fire.
.The plasma pistol can overload electronics, but generates a localized effect that would dissipate over area, I believe. All theoretical but it seems unlikely to take out a Halo. Additionally, the environments on the Halo superstructure could act as a natural grounding element halting the EMP effect.

Well I mean Blue Team basically used Installation 03 on the Didact, so it’s not that far stretched to use it one one being.

Has anyone tried that? I mean shooting the ring with plasma pistol. You never know… it might actually work.
You forget someone has to fire that ring, unless it is proven it can fire itself. If that someone is at all going to reach the ring, there is a chance. Otherwise, magnum or even a pair of strong bare hands is enough, if we talk about Spartans.
It’s impossible. Get a Plasma Pistol into the Control Room in Halo 2, charge a shot, and shoot the floor. I guarantee you, nothing will happen.
IIRC, only way to stop a ring is to destroy it, usually through self detonation.

I thought the talk was about some major overload, like making the plasma pistol a kind of bomb to drop somewhere on the reactor room that is being mentioned, with explosion causing destruction of the entire pistol at the benefit of a major blast beyond anything the pistol was designed to bear. Also I would be skeptical about taking the games as the major point of reference when it comes to lore and possibilities within the Halo universe. Games by nature need to be simplified.
If the generators were in plain sight for the guy with the plasma pistol, then he would have a chance but then he would have to fight an army of security forces. It took a Spartan to blow up one Halo and a crew of a crashed ship.

Thought the case with bringing Halo ring regarded the Halo ring solely as a detached weapon, without the army of security bots included, unless it is proven without this army of robots in it, the ring could never be properly operated and used, questioning the sense of bringing it as a tool, but even if, then the guy with plasma pistol could give additional demands to compensate, basically turning it all into open warfare kind of licitation.
First get the index, put it inside your school books.
Grab your igniter and burn them.
Or throw them into the fire.
It wouldn’t be possible for the friend to fry all of Halo’s generators in the time it takes to activate Halo.
Forerunners had ships that carried beam weapons that could literally shread a Halo to pieces.
