Well, in an ideal world we would model the differences between the types of building construction, however, unless that's possible, I'd say the best compromise is bullets don't hurt walls and don't stop aka they go through and can kill things inside even if you can't see them, but everything else stops AND damages the wall (lasers, plasma, explosives, etc...) I suppose if there is a fire mechanism then it ought apply especially to lasers and plasma. Most people don't know that military lasers actually don't burn clean holes through things. That would require a long exposure and extremely precise aiming. A "real" weapon type laser dumps a ton of energy onto a target in microseconds and it causes such violent heating that it's basically a surface explosion on the target from the instantly vaporized material. It's NOT a nice clean hole burned in something.
