Then Cagalli would have dodged the shots. You see her dodging shots in the beginning of the episode and its not like Shinn's shot came out of nowhere, she clearly saw Shinn, heck she even engaged him in combat. Cagalli even shot first. The whole point of being hit was to show the Beam Reflection, and for Cagalli to get a cheap shot on Shinn, hoping to get in a lucky hit on him. If Shinn didn't block the first shot he would be been shot down. With Melee, Cagalli still charged forward to Shinn knowing she wasn't skilled enough to beat him and in a suit not specialized in melee combat and still held him off long enough till Kira got there.

Yet Yzak managed to kill two of them rather easily if memory serves. As for her Seed mode, who knows ask Fukuda.

yeah Yzak killed 2 however both times he had a lot of help. first was the forbidden next was the raider and if Dearka wasn't there he would have died both times.

Yeah because she was using the gunner wizard. Which was clearly stated to be her weakness. Once she got the Impulse she did much better.

well anyone would get better if they had a better machine.
