We Can Get Out, But You Can't Get In


The laser rays can zap out of the electro-magnetic force field at the soldiers, but the bombs and torpedoes can't get in?

Is that fair?

Maybe the weapon and the field worked on certain frequencies and some would pass while other things would not.

Lasers are energy waves, bullets and bombs are solid matter. However that wouldn't explain why the Gamma rays and EMP from the nuke wouldn't fry them.
Anyone would think it was a science fiction movie rather than real life 8-)
