As extremely nerdy and childish as this is, if they actually work like in the game (plasma shields deplete), I would buy these and "Play Halo" with people.

And, as aforementioned, I would get a BR to strap to my back and "noob combo ftw"

Admit it, you'd do this too.

For technical clarification, the noob combo was with a plasma pistol (ONE SHOT plasma shield depletion) and a BR, that if shot right in the head, would kill your enemy in one shot. Since this combination required some considerable skill to pull off correctly (see BOOOOOM HEAD SHOT!), it always bothered me that it was referred to as the noob combo. Nontheless, it is indeed.

Yeah I read a review a few days ago on another site (forget which) the laser "shield" does work just like in the game - duck behind cover for 10 secs or so and it will begin to recharge.

I'd have loved this stuff back when I was a schoolkid.

The manufacturer doesn't think they'll be doing the spartan weapons though because law enforcement in the US would likely think they are real and "take out" some innocent kids. Great place we live in.
