Got some quotes from First Strike

'''In the intense light,the Master Chief saw that a dozen of Jackals had braced themselves along the wall and overlapped their energy shields to create a phalanx.Behind them five Elites readied plasma rifles. “Down” he shouted,and dived to one side. Grace hit the floor and rolled away.Plasma bolts sizzled over their heads,and the Master Chief’s shields drained as a shot hit too close.The barrage turned several of the blue tiles around him into a crater of blackened glass” pg 187 First Strike.'''

A near miss was enough to drain the shields of MC just by the heat.
