Stormtroopers. Worst shots in the Imperium (except for in that first battle)

ActuallyFrom a /. discussion a while back:
www.adpov.net/2005/03/09/adpov-001/ try and ignore the irritating tone.
Also:
"That complaint always bugged me. I know of 4 occasions in Episode IV (I won't get into the other episodes) where the stormtroopers fire at the heroes.
1. 3P0/R2 wander across the field of fire - Troopers shoot past them to get the actual targets (exactly as you would expect from trained marksmen)
2. Falcon takes off - Troopers shoot at AND HIT a vehicle moving at high speed away from them
3. Trash Compactor - Troopers aren't able to hit a group of people taking cover a good distance off down a dark cooridor. Concealment and Camouflage but they're able to get pretty close in the few seconds they have before they escape.
4. Deathstar Escape Scene - Troopers miss every shot at the group of rebels who are going to lead them to the rebellion base...hmm, could it be they were ordered to miss?
Every other time we see the stormtroopers fire they hit their targets perfectly."

That all makes senseEven Obi-Wan acknowledged that they're accurate shots (when talking about the Jawa massacre).
And the armour is actually pretty good - it's environmental control, it intimidates the enemy and blocks a fair bit of damage. Han Solo carried a heavy blaster pistol (illegal in most systems) and, during the death star escape an imperial carbine and thus did more damage.

The spears likely penetrated at the jointsand the rocks did impact damage. Even wearing the best armour won't stop the wearer getting knocked off-balance when hit by a large rock.
