The funny thing is that the Storm Troopers were very good shots. Rewatch the opening scene in “A New Hope”, where the stormtroopers are boarding Leia’s ship. They’re much better shots than their Rebel counterparts.
The myth of Stormtroopers being poor shots involves them not being able to hit the main characters, who had heavy plot armor. In the original film this could be explained by Vader wanting them to escape so that they could fly the homing beacon stashed aboard the Millennium Falcon to their Rebel base.
I don’t think Dirk Raider’s Stormtroopers can win at this, these are the guys who can’t shoot straight. Why do they believe they can swing a stick any better, all they will do is hit each other. What is it with this Hitting and Hurting each other? Are all Stormtroopers sadist and masochists??
I’ve read jokes on the Web about how in a firefight between the Stormtroopers from Star Wars episodes 4,5,6 and the Sleestak from “The Land of the Lost The Original Series” the safest place to stand is in front of a target, but the Redshirts from Star Trek TOS would still die.

Maybe if they took the helmet off they’d be able to see what they are supposedly aiming it.

They aren’t even blindfolded.

I know of one group with worse aims!

America’s Funniest Videos have these all the time, but usually it’s a guy holding a pinata and gets hit south of the border, if you get my drift.

At least they save money on blindfolds.

Wow, not only are storm trooper suits completely useless against blasters, now we learn they can’t even deflect a stick?

Good thing they are not bashing at it with light sabers!

These stormtroopers need to figure out how to build a spaceship where they can take their spacesuits off inside. Relax a little.
