Is that a solution though? unless you send your ship instantly after those bullets another objects could still just come in from the side after they've passed, unless these bullets cover significantly more than the front facing area of your entire ship it won't work, and if you do send it directly in front of your ship immediately before your flight then you've just invented metal shields, and if they do hit something you're still going to be hitting shrapnel and spalling at appreciable fractions of the speed of light.
