    Also a laser hitting a shield causes a massive explosion, which could be at the shield or laser gun. Bullets get stopped and a laser would likely kill either user if many kilometers away, or both of closer.

        I’ve read a few of the books. I think for narrative balance purposes, a lasegun would need a certain amount of power before it would explode a shield. Like you can’t just put a miniaturized lasegun on a hunter seeker… laseguns need to be big.
