Warp bubbles don't take you out of normal space time (that's some hyper space bull****). Warp bubbles contract the space ahead of the ship, and expand the space behind it. The ship stays "Still" within the warp bubble, and the space they are in moves, so they aren't technically moving faster than light. But they are still in "normal space". They can run into stuff, and stuff can run into them. So weapons would still work.
