The missiles do damage on impact as well as releasing gas, and the game (mistakenly) codes it so that the impact damage is ALSO of type "alien gas". Thus, the impact damage will ignore shields. However, since alien gas does 0 damage to humans, alien gas missiles will do 0 impact damage to you own agents.
