Now I think of it what even makes the hellfire magical? they're damn demons I would guess they would have the ability to spew out actual fire.these doomguys seem to have trouble with demons nowhere near the physical level of halo's "demon", except those super demon bosses who still subcumb to gunfire.
Let's clear some things up. The Artifact(also known as the Hellstone) grants the marine:
1. Increased speed and likely reflexes.
2. Slows down time(or speeds up for the marine) for everyone except for Doomguy.
3. Increases physical strength to the point where he can literally punt a Hellknight or a Mancubus/Bruiser with a single punch, killing them instantly.
4. Vastly increases the firepower of Doomguy's weapons to the point where a single shot from a measly pistol can rip through a large demon like a Hellknight.
5. Grants him invincibility from only but the most powerful of enemies.
