i think both are fair to be considered. like for example, characters like ellen in game are shown able to react to and deflect gunfire, which is something she's also been shown to do in cutscenes, and characters like grace are also seen dodging machine gun fire both in game and in cutscenes. for the most part gameplay of characters seems pretty consistent with what they're capable of in lore/cutscenes, and i think casual bullet dodging + the ability to break stuff like small walls and crates serves as a baseline. then you can use more impressive feats from lore/cutscenes to go from there

I've listed those off before earlier in this thread, I know. Although I would think there can be potential outliers like Nekomata not reacting to a tranq dart fired past her, in those situations I can presume one can think she was just surprised at the act being done (the context being she had a hostage to hold up, yet the hostage being shot at is what made her shocked) but idk.

That said, it wouldn't at all be surprising if everyone can deflect and/or react to bullets if the intent is there and so far, it's made pretty clear at least with Soldier 11 deflecting bullets in her gameplay, Agent story and character animation teaser, Anby was implied to be her superior or at least at least someone she trained alongside with, the Grace thing you mentioned and while this isn't quite to the extent, we do see Qingyu deflect crossbow bolts during 2.5 story and I THINK she also deflects bullets too in gameplay so i imagine she has just as much the reflexes to do the same to bullets.

Adding the machine things Naito mentioned and the ZZZ cast is pretty solid for 9-A and supersonic by the looks of it, and we can still be looking for better and higher feats down the line...maybe ^^;

Ellen Joe's feat is probably the most impressive given she could slice a missile and also move against them dodging and weaving. Solid Supersonic feat. I haven't been able to check the lasers that the soldiers use so we'll have to settle for characters being Supersonic more or less.

They make note and mention of lasers being a thing. The Unknown Corruption Complex's in game info states it assimilates everything like military tech, laser weapons, and short-range missiles among the things it can absorb and use at weapons. The Heavy Gunner guys also have such weapons too, equipped with a machine gun, an RPG, and a laser weapon.

Though direct feats wise we see here and there on screen as it happens, we've only seen several Agents across factions and chapters reacting to bullets and some having that effect shown in gameplay by just deflecting them. Though in game, you CAN dodge lasers by the cue of those golden/red lights that sparkle up before the attack launches.
