Actully the Covenant weapons are comparabel in range and accuracy, and actully deal out more damage, the plasma they use is described as "Somthing more dangerous" than normal plasma. Spartans armor is also very tough on it's own, with out the sheilds, but even if there shields go down, there not going to stand there and get shot, there going to use there superhuman speed and reflexes to avoid the blasters until there shields recharged.
