Umm, dude, Gammas are photons are electromagnetic waves. Wave-particle
duality and all that.
And neutrons are easily stopped by a piece of paper :-).

Gammas get through many shields because their wavelength can be
small compared to atom-to-atom spacing in a solid, if they're high
enough energy. At even higher energies other effects take over.
