I Apologize for making a third comment in a row, but I think I have good reason for doing so, this is some important information, and more feats that need to be discussed. Plus, it would clutter my previous reply if I just edited it in.
It appears I was wrong about something again, according to the calculation page
we do have data for Frag, violent frag, and pulverization of Titanium, so any calculations substituting with Steel are now obsolete and ought to be reworked. Unless I am again mistaken, and the calc page is obsolete/wrong or something.
@DarkDragonMedeus , your calcs subbing the previously unknown figures for Titanium with steel probably need to be reworked.
What I estimated from the Shade turrets earlier would actually be 550* 193330= 106.3315 megajoules, or 17.729 megajoules,
Wall Level+ assuming a burst of 6 bolts were required to destroy the ODST pod.
I found some more feats for Forerunner monitors.
This scan on this other forum seems to show a Monitor reduce a Sangheili, armor and all to ashes from the ankles up., then it follows up by punching a hole clean through a Hunter's Torso, likely charring the organic matter, and fragmenting the armor. Pay no mind to the ridiculous assumptions of dodging laser weapons on that thread, the scans are blatant aim dodging, it's beyond obvious. Though a poster on that forum makes some interesting points regarding the Wraith Mortar.
Interesting statement regarding Spartans, and surviving Wraith Mortars. It would be consistent with something in Gameplay (I know to apply game mechanics with great caution) where you can stand within a few meters of a Wraith mortar's impact.
"There was no anti-infantry attack quite as horrifying as a plasma strike, which unleashed such a searing blast that anything inside the impact zone was flash-incinerated, while anything nearby by was merely knocked down and immolated. John had seen direct hits reduce concrete bunkers to swirling clouds of white-hot dust and near-misses leave men standing on smoking pegs of charred bone.
...
The artillery blanket continued to intensify and creep across the jungle slope toward John, flooding the right side of his faceplate with blinding strobe light. The plasma rounds were the least of his concerns. The Mjolnir armor he and his Spartans wore would protect them from anything short of a direct hit. Besides, once the Covenant had flattened the jungle, Blue Team wouldn’t have to wait for the bridging vehicles to enter a predetermined firing zone.
...
Plasma rounds incinerated everything within a twenty-meter radius of the strike, with an even larger secondary damage ring. The concussion wave alone increased the mortality risk of a maneuvering infantry soldier tenfold. Linda would be okay in her Mjolnir armor unless she happened to run directly under an incoming strike—but in a barrage this heavy, the chances of that happening were high."

There's another scan further down the thread where John is close to, or in the middle of a large explosion while driving a Ghost. If not John, it may be a durability feat for Ghosts.
Here Fred takes a Hunter's Fuel Rod cannon, which was stated could destroy a Phantom (we've seen this actually happen elsewhere at least twice). Though his shield breaks. I think this was a MkV feat. If I am remembering correctly, the other members of Blue Team in Ghosts of Onyx didn't have any opportunity to get a MkVI like John did.
"One Hunter eased its fuel-rod cannon around the edge of its impenetrable shields—green energized rounds glowing with deadly radiation—and fired.
Fred jumped from cover, his MJOLNIR armor ablaze as if it was burning phosphorus.
The Hunter hit him dead center in his chest, a blast that would have destroyed their dropship. His energy shields flared brighter, failed, and Fred crumpled to the floor, his armor smoking." - Halo Ghosts of Onyx
Near the top of
this page, a user actually calculates John's energy jumping from the bomb in Halo 2, and it actually makes sense given the timeframe, a solid 16.72 Megajoules,
Wall Level+. I am liking how consistent this has turned out.
I will post more as I find them.
