Reasonable enough. Given that there's another example of a solid weapon in UF that can deflect blaster fire besides Martin's swords or Gryphon's swords, I wouldn't be surprised in the least.

However, I'm inclined to believe that the ability to deflect blaster fire or block a lightsaber with a physical weapon is more based on the user than the weapon.
