I think the Area Defense perk only allows you to shoot down projectiles aimed at yourself ("incoming"). To shoot down projectiles aimed at someone else, you might also need the Sacrificial Parry perk (or a specific Area Defense version of it) and your parry might also take range penalties to the target (you need as much time as you can get so you shoot it down at nearly the last instant). Otherwise, the Area Defense perk allows you to shoot down a bullet anywhere in your line of sight (or your weapon's range) at no penalty, which doesn't seem right.
