As I mentioned, Slade and his boys can take multiple gunshots at point blank range and still keep going. Neither Cap nor Bucky have durability like that.
Besides, the arrowverse have unenhanced people fast enough to catch arrows. We shouldn't under estimate the arrow-verse either.

Cap does have feats of getting hit with an alien energy weapon without serious damage, which I'd classify as several orders of magnitude above bullets re:damage output.
That's questionable. Becuase when he does get hit with actual gun fire, it seriously hurts him.
Besides, when Cap was hit by that chitauri gun he was knocked down and obviously hurt. The mirakuru soldiers were capable of tanking MULTIPLE gunshota without even slowing down.

It's not at all questionable as the energy rifle was shown to do far more damage than bullets and while he might have been injured, it wasn't serious as he got right back up and kept fighting.
Different types of damage. Bigger damage maybe but not quite the same penetration capabilities. After all, it didn't go through Cap whereas bullets and knives do penetrate his skin.
In any case, it's moot to discuss laser fire because we don't know how mirakuro soldiers would react to it. But both Cap and Slade have taken gunshots before so that's a better comparison medium.

Comparing how they take bullets would only matter if they fight involved guns, if it's just hth or with blunt weapons then the energy rifle with it's far greater damage output would be the better choice to use.
