Wait a minute. 5 grammes instead of 5 kilograms? That's like the BB gun from hell. It's firing a ball bearing if it's firing anything more than a cloud of plasma.
Whipple shielding should stop the remaining fragments anyway after it gets lased. Depending on the power focused onto it, it should either deflect, disintigrate into little grains of sand that Whipple shielding will stop, or it'll go spinning wildly out of control.
It's hard to inject life into writing that isn't in your native language. It used to be a real problem for me..... I overdid the correction with obscenely purple prose then sort of sprung back into an underdamped oscillation that bounces wildly around the happy medium. It's something that gets better the more you do it.
