Dodging a laser bolt would be nearly impossible, as it would travel at the speed of light. [5] Due to that, it is reasonable the blaster fire would pass like a sparkle, and hit its target.
Lightsabers can also deflect blaster bolts, allowing a wielder with Jedi reflexes to turn an enemy's own gunfire against them.

Since the mass of the bullet is much less than that of the shooter there is more kinetic energy transferred to the bullet than to the shooter. Once discharged from the weapon, the bullet's energy decays throughout its flight, until the remainder is dissipated by colliding with a target (e.g. deforming the bullet and target).
