who said anything about the reapers using their weapons. The reapers perform a point blank jump to the mantles approach harbinger and several other reapers grab ahold of the mantles approach and attempt to rip out the composer. reaper weapons are threee times as powerful unsc weapons not to mention their spinal guns so lets not assume reaper weapons cant penetrate forerunner shields.
