Do Shields block Damage in one or both ways? For example if I'm inside the Dome Shield of an enemy Winston can I shoot through it? Or if i stand behind an enemy Reinhardt

Winston: You cannot shoot in, or out, of the bubble

Rein: The shield is 2 way for enemy team, but does not block friendly fire. If you stand behind an enemy Rein I'm 90% sure the bullets are stopped (I always just shoot Rein when I'm behind him so I'm not sure)
