Quote from TPM the book: "The Gungan shield wall was designed to deflect
large, slow-moving objects of density and mass such as artillary vehiclas and
small, fast-moving objects generating extreme heat such as projectiles from
weapons fire. But it would not deflect small, slow moving droids-even massed
together in such numbers as they were here."
My guess is that the Gungan projectiles wouldn't be able to leave the shield.
They needed the droids to get close for combat since their long range weapons
were lacking. Dunno, almost sounds like Terry Brooks, the auther, had to do a
lot of grasping trying to explain alot of this stuff in the book.
