Reflection is never 100%. Some of the energy always causes damage. And if the laser has as much energy as a blaster shot has, it will probably be enough to cut through steel.

And where is your source for Gondor soldiers being well trained? I think it's as much a myth as black uruks being so extremely powerful. Gondor's forces would be nothing without the troops of the fiefs and these were mostly not very well trained. Dol Amroth was the richest and most powerful fief and it had the best troops. But nearly nobody spends his life entirely on the training like the clone troopers do.
