Fuel Rod Gun trigger does not work anyway. Covenant weaponry use pressure pads. So to fire the weapon, you squeeze the handle.
The Spiker and Brute Shot are exceptions I believe.

For more than ten years of Halo, I never really investigated about how weapons worked. Thank you very much for sharing this information.

Yeah, it was info available back on Bungie.old. I don't know if it's ever been specifically stated the plasma weapons use magnetic fields, but the Plasma Torpedoes use it, so I think it's a logical conclusion to make.

Yes, they use the magnetic field to direct it. Fun Fact: the Plasma Pistols electromagnetic director is located in the grip

Where's your source for that?
-
Halopedia. It where I learned basically everything about Halo. And no, not Halo Nation, that one is as inaccurate as crap
-
Halopedia is a second hand source. It's technically non-canon.

They list ALL of the sources at the bottom. If something may be non-canon or just speculation, they put a warning at the top of the paragraph
