I'll also chip in that neither side were battle-hardened warriors. Though the Noldor had superior weaponry, they'd never used it to attack their brethren before.

I'd also suggest that, as the aggressors, the rank-and-file Noldor might have been more hesitant and tentative than the Teleri, who were defending their home turf and fighting for their lives.
