# That all makes sense
Even 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 joints
and 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.
