How would history have changed if Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon had to deal with the B2 units instead of just the skeletal flimsy B1's

The SBDs would cause far more damage and probably end the battle with the Gungans far faster, I don't doubt Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon couldn't handle them. But the Gungans, Padme/Panaka and the other Naboo Guards probably wouldn't have faired better than they did against the B1s.

Those things are pretty much blaster proof.

Their rate of firepower would also have been a dramatic help, their output is far faster and would be much more lethal in that regard compared to the B1.

Blaster proof? It got hit in the arm and lost said arm. Hardly blaster proof.

Meh blaster resistant then, whatever, point is Emperor....it's more durable than a B1 who go down in one shot. It clearly has more armor than them.

Does a shot to the arm compromise a B1 unit completely?

Actually yeah, during the palace battle a B1 just dropped after getting shot in the arm. In fact 2 of them did.
