You thought Stormtroopers sucked at shooting

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - You thought Stormtroopers sucked at shooting (Page 1 of 2)

These guys are absolutely horrible. They have all of these Stormtroopers piling through a little hatch. A perfect fatal funnel and these dildos can't hold them off.

Nice hats BTW. Sure they're not on backwards, fucking dildos.

Probably to busy shooting each other in the back

With how well they use the cover provided and make sure to stay clear of the guy behind them....

They kinda deserve a force-choke.

To be fair, the Imperial Senate passed an ALB (assault laser ban) and the civilian power cell market dried up

This is why the Normark Singlepoint failed in the marketplace and why they took the design to Armson —> trijicon

If it wasn’t for these early field tests long long ago in a galaxy far far away, we wouldn’t have the ACOG

Yeah well, they're a bunch of space terrorists and deserved everything the empire did to them.

My extensive battle experience in BF2142 and defending thousands of Titan control panels in tight passageways has shown me that particular movie sequence was a fluke, and should not have occurred.

The guy standing up in the left foreground appears to be actually aiming. Unfortunately, the guy standing up behind him will probably shoot him in the back.

The Rebels were forced to use obsolete weapon technology. that shit is always inaccurate and prone to failure.

The helmets are based on US Navy talker helmets

Use of cover is highly overrated.

A (former 11-B) friend of mine has been known to drunkenly scream “grenade, asshole” at various points in movie battles, in places where they’d have been particularly effective. Star Wars has a few.

Excellent point and observation about tactics OP.

Whole heartedly agree with you on the fatal funnel.

Shoulda been so easy. Point at center of door-belt high-and blast.

Been watching Hickok the past few days while on the treadmill. Talk about not hitting anything. He can one shot the extras without a problem, but trace adkins he couldn't hit with a machine gun from 3 feet.
Relax, it's hollyweird, they need to manufacture drama.

Still better than the A-Team, not sure they ever hit anyone.

You think that's bad, you guys should watch GI JOE cartoons.

Millions of red and blue lasers fired and not a single casualty on either side.

Useless armor. Chest plate can be penetrated by the blaster equivalent of a 22 target pistol. (Retcon is Leia used an "overload" mode, so call it a 22 magnum round.)

I suspect Armson sells a shitload of OEGs to the Star Wars crowd.

Of course they couldn't hit anything. They were using those garbage Singlepoint sights.

I guess it was the fibre optic/tritium tech trijicon got into Armson for, not the dot/OEG concept? Or I guess they did go that direction as well with other optics other than ACOG

They didn't hit Luke, Leia, Han & Michelle on the Death Star because the entire plan was to let them escape without knowing that they'd been let go. Leia realized this.

"Oi guvnah, why do we have to wear this bloody uncomfortable bit of kit? Does it stop laser blasters?"

Nope.

"Well, how about antique projectile weapons. Does it stop those?"

Nope.

"Well damn it all! How bout rocks and sticks?! Does it at least offer some protection from those?!"

Ummm...

The real question is, how do they get lasers to move so slow?

Posted: 1/25/2021 1:24:44 AM EDT

[#41]

The Rebels had the most lame assed uniforms. A fucking cloth vest? A cheap plastic helmet with the cheap plastic chin cup? Cheap assed cargo pants? Short boots? And the fighter pilots with padded orange flight suits?

The Empire had full body armor and full coverage helmets, even though lasers seems to penetrate them anyway. Also, the Empire had much cooler looking uniforms/armor for everyone including flight personnel. Although the dudes that pushed the big lever to shoot lasers from the Death Star had some weird ass helmets.

View Quote

I am not a former 11-B and I don't drink, yet I still shout at war movies about tactics, grenade usage (or lack thereof), or just plain SHOOT THAT GUY DON'T TALK TO HIM! which actually happens in a lot of non-war movies, too.

If every movie where I yell at the characters to actually kill people who need killing the plot would get cut short since the bad guys wouldn't get a chance to stab someone in the back.

Yet I wouldn't yell anywhere near so much.

The first standing guy on the left is a shooter looking to kill anything coming through that hatch. The rest of the goobers are too busy looking at the camera.
