An old WD (173 or 175) listed which weapons could bypass a Dragsta
field. I know the following weapons were on the list (though I
might have fogotten some)

Tremor cannon
Quake cannon
Mole mortar
Shokk Attakk Gunz
Vortex missle
Warp missle

I know that barrage missles were not on the list (they bounce), nor
was there mention of any psychic weapons, including those which
ignore shields (such as the psy-cannon).

I think there is an unofficial Q&A on Allens list which asks if
Dragstas bounce psychic attacks, and I think the primarchs answered
that they do (which is consitent with the WD Q&A), though I would
definitely check that before taking my word for it.
