Their goal was to kill whoever was trying to come through the portal
In that case shouldn't they send a bomb? They're doing a favor to Scoobies, fighting them with weapons that can be deflected with McGyver-ish gadgetry.
But I don't mind suspending my disbelief, as long as the genre is appropriate.
I hope I'm not coming across as aggressive either
No - not at all! I love discussing actual plot points (although sometimes I can't keep myself from ranting and whining).
