From what little I know of Halo's setting, I wouldn't be surprised if there's also a lot of "Oh they're religious, of course they're stupid and we're smarter than them."

Its not just that, its also the covenant leadership are prideful as all gently caress and have their heads stuck several miles up their own asses, hopped up on their own self importance.
This will all be shown after Halo 1, however.

I think the gravemind is just keeping him alive, just treating him like you would a muppet.

He got punched in the skull several times by a man whose fist probably weighs more than he did, and then the entire structure he was in was vaporised by high-intensity plasma.

He was not alive by the time the Gravemind got its tentacles on him.

fair point

Yeah some metals work harden (increase in hardness when subjected to plastic deformation), some more and faster than others. Like Titanium, which is infamously annoying to machine/cut since it very, very quickly work hardens and ruins bits.

Bending a regular gun barrel though, let alone a 20kg, 50 cal firing monster, thats some superhuman feat.
