yes but only to watch it lose balance fall and decapitate itself on the bayonete. but seriously, a grunt is just as capable of holding a brute plasma rifle as a brute is. also, why cant a brute hold a fuel rod? and for that matter, one would think that the covenant would give ALL their troops top grade energy shields. the kind that can withstand 3 sniper rounds before they fizz out, instead of sending all their troops to death at the ends of anyone with a shotgun
