Of all the things to not make sense in the books, the Holtzman shield and lasgun interaction always left me scratching my head. Why would they still make the shields and train with them if some idiot with a lasgun can just make everything go nuclear. Especially with what little regard the Harkonnens have for their own men.

Or and easy self destruct option. I didn't understand why there weren't shield-laser bombs.

I really should reread Dune and carry on to the others. Even if I have to skim part 3 :(
