So, how do they fire phasers and photon torpedoes through their shields?

By opening a frequency window.

I'm shutting down GoFundMe. Not only we got our house without their help -- though we had to bend a few rules and fib a few details to get this place -- but this is the second time it completely failed us.

My PayPal worked a couple of times, and is available as I have to pay off a loan to get our downpayment.

Anyways, they fire weapons through their shields by opening a frequency window that matches their weapon frequencies. Or else, the particle beam or torpedo will slam against the inside of the shields. Ricochets will be a killer, to say the least.

We know this via canon as it's how Lursa and B'Etor were able to penetrate the Enterprise's shields in Star Trek: Generations (1994).

And so opening a frequency window that matches their own weapons when they fire makes sense.

I first heard about it actually from the Beasties episode, "Other Voices, part 2," when Cheetor had to get scanners outside of the shields. And it would make sense to fire weapons through shields that way.

From, "The Arsenal of Freedom," the weapon had to drop its shields to fire.

That would leave it vulnerable for both weapons fire and transporters, like when Discovery had to drop shields when they had to launch Spock's shuttle and Burnham in the Red Angel suit on, "Such Sweet Sorrow, pt2," that allowed Leland/CONTROL to beam aboard Discovery.

And the Remans boarding the Enterprise when they lost ventral shields on deck 29 -- on a ship that only has 24 decks.

I remember reading that's how Star Wars ships fire through their shields. They lower shields for a split second to fire. But Star Wars doesn't have transporters.

From the force fields on the brig, Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) and, "The Battle At Binary Stars," had force fields that could open a section for Khan to pass his arm through, and for Michael Burnham to escape the brig when that section suffered an explosive decompression that killed Danby Connor. So that way, weapons fire could pass through.

But that still leaves them vulnerable to transporters and stray weapons fire or a lucky shot.

There was also that window on, "The Wounded," where the Phoenix having a high energy sensor system that cycles every 5.5 minutes with a fiftieth of a second window between cycles that let Chief O'Brien to beam aboard the Phoenix with her shields up.

Naturally they can't fire a full charge in 1/50 of a second, and they need to fire FAR more often than every 5.5 minutes.

So a frequency window is the best option.

"But wouldn't the frequency window somehow interfere with weapon effectiveness?"

It shouldn't, but it would line-up with diverting all but emergency maintenance power to the shields on, "The Tholian Web," which would reduce phaser power by 50% -- even though that's simply power, not effectiveness.
