[Stargate] It has been shown numerous times that the Stargate allows explosive debris, gunshots, blaster fire, etc through. Why don't they point it at an exterior wall where it's not going to do much damage?

Well the room they have it in is kinda oblonged, so it only fits one direction, either towards the windows or away. This way makes it easier to directly see who exits the gate, and probably easier to send people in to enter or guard the gate, as well as robots or stuff, since the doors are on this side too.
