Well, it's a question. Actually, even if your missile can go straight through shield, you still don't see wher the guy is behind it.
And in game, parry value of shield is just checked against missiles as hit-or-miss. Maybe even for the reason above. Or maybe just to simplify engine somewhat. But it's WAD.
Generally, bolts may work against thugs/SCs. But I personally had never seen it.
