Originally posted by Phoenix-D: Again, bLaster bolts and the bots are two different things. Low speed vs high, and mass vs not. Setting the shield to stop bots might mean it stopping too much (eg DUST), overloading, and burning out.
As for the bombs? Well, if the movies used decent tactics they'd be a bit boring How many times has a major ship blown to a single fighter in that series, again?
I thought Stargate SG1 Technobabbled this quite well Bullets and staff bLasts couldn't penetrate shields but you could throw a knife and it would pass through (slower moving objects)
That and they made Sam Carter say it, and no self respecting Stargate SG1 fan is going to get on the wrong side of her
