Yeah. Ever consider that might have something to do with the fact that it's right?Galaxy wrote:you warsies all say the same fuckin thing. Jesus C****T!!!

Just keep digging your bannin' pit ass. Admiral Kronos probably has you locked on and is preparing to fire, so it would be a good idea to stop this shit now.Galaxy wrote:Hmm if u really wanna know how i got this title... all i did was act like YOU

Re: ROTJ and Ewoks
Not at all. Only the "rubber" portion of the armor can be penetrated by such weapons. Stormtrooper armor is SUBSTANTIALLY harder than steel, capable of resisting a spear thrown with enough force to knock someone across a room easily.Trytostaydead wrote:1) How worthless is stormtrooper armor if the soldiers can be beaten by 3 foot teddy bears' sticks and bow and arrows?
At the front entrance of the bunker. The Rebels stormed the back one. Try to pay attention while you're watching the film.2) Where were the AT-ATs? There were AT-ATs on Endor, what happened to them?
Perhaps it was because the situation only became difficult for them (the Ewoks only sprung their trap) AFTER the fleet engagement had begun and Rebel forces in orbit would have been able to blast the shield generator through the gap that would have necessitated in the Endor planetary shields? Just a thought.3) Why didn't the stormtroopers request reinforcements? There must have been hundreds of thousands of stormtroopers at LEAST orbiting above the moon in the fleet and the DS. If they were getting whomped, why didn't they call in support or at least detach an ISD to incinerate the area around the shield generator or at least called in aerial support?
Wrong. It was protected by blast doors and stormtroopers and light mechanized defenses. The front entrance was EXTREMELY well protected. Try to pay attention during the film.4) The bunker had absolutely NO defense systems.

Yes. That's why we tend to flame morons like you when you try to question our knowledge and understanding of the comparative abilities of the two sides.do you ever get tired of repeating yourselves?
BTW, that n00b OWNED you, Galaxy.

It would have certainly spoiled most peoples day I think.

No kidding. That beast, if I had to guess, was 5 tons at the very least. For something wearable by a human to withstand that kind of weight speaks highly of the material.
BTW, n00b, nice 1st post.

Speaking of Stormtrooper Armor, just how tough is it? We know it can resist blaster fire to an extent and it lessens trauma, but how would it do against bullets?

It'd stand up to most small arms fire today. But once you get into heavy caliber weapons like heavy machine guns and heavier sniper rifles it gets questionable. Either way damn impressive stuff.Durran Korr wrote:Speaking of Stormtrooper Armor, just how tough is it?

I'd say it was Pink Eye. Of course Demios dropped in and got booted a while back. But I'd have to go with Pink Eye. Pink Eye managed to rant, rave and show blatant hypcrisy. A classic troll if short lived.Gandalf wrote:Probably Mike_6002 or ^-^.Vympel wrote:When was our last good troll, anyway?
Mike the Ass the Wipe was just a me too moron that spammed a lot. ^_^ got banned before he could really troll much.

Really? Where (I mean when) was it?Kazeite wrote:Also, during battle one of the stormtroopers falls dawn and when he gets up we can see that his shoulder armor is cracked.
Side note:
Did not Vader order the only AT-AT we saw to search the forest for Luke's companions? Is it a possible answer that the AT-ATs patrolled the forest far away from the base?

AT-ATs couldn't cross such cluttered terrain, they'd trip and fall over. Which is why it was basically confined to the landing platform. Hence, it is not availible to combat the Rebels/Ewoks.vakundok wrote:Side note:

Extremely well. Anti-tank weapons would penetrate it, but short of that small arms fire would be incapable of killing the stormtrooper, except with a shot to the rubber body glove, and through concussive force.Durran Korr wrote:Speaking of Stormtrooper Armor, just how tough is it?

So if you were to fire a .44 round at the armor at point blank, it would bounce right off?Master of Ossus wrote:Extremely well.
