Well, your estimate is very wrong. A .50 BMG round may be moving quickly, but its mass is negligable compared to the rocks that the Ewoks were tossing around. The MOMENTUM transfer, which is the most important detail in knocking a man from his feet, would be far high from the rock than from the bullet.
