I don't know about the laser thing. I don't know exactly how effective they are against his shields or not. But I'd imagine that a large laser rifle would take out his shields quickly, probably one or two shots, a medium would probably take 5 or 6 based on that, and a small about 10. Of course, that's purely speculation right there. And if you take down the armor, the shield is also gone. It's linked to the armor, but you'll HAVE to go through the shield one way or another to get at his armor. I also don't beleive there is any weak spot for his shield, maybe his armor, but not the shield. Also, Plasma weapons would cut through his shield like butter, plasma weapons are the best weapon for taking down his shields quickly.
