Definitely a force field then, presumably a flicker one tuned to the  
weapon's fire rate to allow the bullets to pass through ;-)

Thinking about it though if you did project a force field around a  
helicoptor (or aeroplane for that matter) would it still fly? I presume if  
an object hits it then all energy is absorbed or redirected so you  
wouldn't rattle around like a ice-cube in a glass?
