[Star Wars] In Episode II: If the LAAT gunship was out of rockets, why not just use its frontal blasters to take down Dooku?

A missile is a rather more reliable way of killing a Force-sensitive: It follows them, and the explosion cannot be so easily dodged. Hardly perfect, but far better than the alternative: For Dooku, blaster fire is little more than an inconvenience.

A surprising fact is that Dooku's speeder actually has a slightly higher top speed than an LAAT/i. The pilots were probably pouring everything they could get out of the power core into the engines just to keep up with him, and wisely recognized wasting energy on weapons fire wouldn't be worth it.
