Or turns them into chunks of meat but still identerfiable body parts, or in some cases loses limbs like a normal .50 cal. If you want low-end there is always the Ultramarine movie, in which case we see Bolters being turned into everyday normal AP rounds.

The "Plasma" if you could call it that, could leave a empty hole the size of a big dinner plate in a Spartan II shields and all. An Overcharged Plasma Pistol shot, would turn a heavily armed ODST into piles of ash and glass.

Really again Shas, it depends on what Calcs you use. Unlike Star Trek or Star Wars, both WH40K and Halo is one of the most inconsistent universes of all time, and aparently both Sci-fi don't know the definition of calcs and cannon :-/
