Stormtroopers Have Excellent Aim (No Really!)

- Stormtroopers and the story of the Original Trilogy is different than what media has lead us to believe. Stormtroopers are deadly fighting machines and here's why!

Thanks for watching everyone! 😍
Also numbers given in later part of the video are apparently just causalities from those who were hit. The accuracy for hits (not causalities) would be instead be 0.5% and 1%. Thank you to those who messaged me, reminding me to point that out!
You did a great job, at making everyone respect those fictional space nаzis, nice!
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU 💙
Even the people making modern Star Wars have fallen for the Stormtrooper joke. It’s too engrained in western society at this point, but videos like this will help get the truth out there!
Yeah, especially in Rebels.
Finally! Someone who recognized the capabilities of an elite class of troops.
Eh space marine will tap them and a single tenno tap he space marine badly
Yes they are that strong
as a Star Wars fan I can't express enough how entertaining this was to watch. great work
More people need to address the gross misinformation about stormtrooper aim.
"The stormtroopers don't actually have bad aim!!! If you were truly a star wars fans you would understand that in ANH Tarkin ordered the troopers to miss every shot because he wanted the rebels to lead them to the base!!! And they were outnumbered on Endor by a native species, it wasn't their fault! They are gritty, precise, accurate marksman give these fictional space nаzis they respect the deserve!" - you.
@@russianoverkill3715 lol I’m just kind of annoyed about the discrepancy, anything that makes the discrepancy makes sense is an all right argument in my book.
Pov: Imagine If The Stormtroopers Had Inhibitor Chips.
Always said this stormtroopers are phenomenal at their job that’s how the galaxy was subjugated. They just look terrible compared to the main characters
I mean, half the main characters are literal psychics with some degree of foresight into the immediate future. That's not exactly a fair fight.
4:20 that's not bad shooting, that's suppressive fire. The point of suppressive fire isn't to hit the target, but to intimidate them in staying in cover. They had to keep the prisoners moving, and prevent Luke from reaching them. I don't even think they were "missing on purpose" there, they were just making the very valid tactical choice of pinning a target down while moving prisoners out.
These are the exact same arguments I've used in defending Stormtroopers.
Got MatPat's successor right here
But that's just a theory
In conjunction with the Battlefront 2's campaign (not to be confused with Battlefront 2 EA), I maintain the headcanon that stormtrooper quality takes a nosedive after the Battle of Yavin because of how many veteran troopers died aboard the DS1. With multiple worlds subsequently declaring open rebellion afterwards, Palpatine gets nervous and enacts mass conscription to help fill the ranks to compensate. Simply put, all the guys on Endor are just greenhorns by that point and were likely given at most a month's worth of training before being given an E11 and a set of armor.
That would explain a lot, and the gross lack of the Imperial Army.
You forgot to move the decimal point on your accuracy calculation, 1 in 100 is 1% accuracy, not 0.01%.
But you also underestimated the storm troopers. 11 targets in 97 shots is about 1 in 9, or just over 11%, you stated that their accuracy was 1 in 11, just under 9%.
This. Just did he not listen to his script? Before uploading
We also have to divide them to numbers of combatans involved in action
The bad aim joke got old real quick.
Star Wars is 40+ years old, and the joke is still in use, seems like someone doesn't like when their space nаzis get disrespected.
The World War Two stats supposedly includes the anti-aircraft fire.
I've seen some of the more recent works basically make excuses for why a Stormtrooper can't hit.
In Jedi Fallen Order, for example, it's because of bad rations.
In The Mandalorian, it's because of faulty equipment (the rest of the time, they're hitting a spot that would be more fatal if it weren't for a little thing called Beskar).
And if course, we have Luke's comment on the helmets.
First heard this theory from Lindybeige years ago. Fun stuff!
THANK YOU! I always said they're just trying to bait them.
We need who would win between Superman and kratos
I’d like a video on Luke Cage or John Steele from Marvel
next up: red shirts in star trek aren't under a death curse. the reason why most of the casualties are red shirts is because most of the crew is red shirts and security is red shirt. the engineers also wear red shirts and have a fairly good survival rate.
I hate that Disney and Filoni(yes, he did it too) made the bad aim something "canon". Hell nah, man, they didn't watch Star Wars for sure
Dude, there's no bigger Star Wars nerd than Filoni. And Disney is not responsible for the story.
I just ignore Disney Star Wars and stick the just the 6 movies and Legends :P
Guy: You shoot like a stormtrooper!
Germans in World War 1: Wow he's really good!😂
This aint mat pat its mat part . Good vid though
Its crazy how were better then shooting at storm shooters in star wars battlefront 1 and 2
I missed when Stormtroopers were strong. New Hope they intentally missed. There were few issues in Empire. Return of the Jedi made them too comical. But still mostly in line compared to modern day
The force influences all things
4:43 Something needs to be clarified. The only reason stormtroopers appear to be terrible in Disney productions is because of Dave Filoni. Source books, novels and even DICE's Battlefront 2 campaign all say that stormtroopers are good troops, with Bf2 saying that they had a 77% accuracy rate.
Dave Filoni continually ignores the lore and the fans let him get away with it and praise his mediocre shows. Perhaps the worst offender that has received virtually no criticism is the Bad Batch, which has utterly ruined Disney's up until now relatively decent lore for the early Imperial era (which was mostly EU copy-paste). Not only are non-clone stormtroopers shown and said to be poor, but they are appearing only a year after the Empire formed. The whole thing is utter nonsense. Stormtroopers are supposed to be an elite branch of the Imperial military, if the Empire needs large numbers of poorly trained conscripts for an unimportant battle, they'd call the actual army like in Solo. Keeping the program a secret is also impossible if there are so many stormtroopers. In reality, that show and *all* Filoni productions should be considered a lesser tier of canon.
1 in 200 shots is 0.5%, not 0.005%.
Really what porff have they have good aim
I just want Disney to actully show how good they are because they are some of the best soldiers during this time but instead Disney just makes them these half brain idiots who cant hit anything
7:44 200 bullets for 1 casualty make an accuracy of 0.5% and at 8:07 100 bullets for 1 casualty make an accuracy of 1%
Ah crap I'm an idiot. Poured everything into the editing on this one and relied on the articles' numbers. It seems like the numbers given were more so to explain the amount of casualties from the injuries, (so the video shows everyone's causality percentages) but I sure as heck didn't mention it! Thank you for the correction!
This
What kinda AliExpress matpat is this
Counter argument. Rex, one of the best, if not the best clone out there, says he can't see out of a stormtrooper helmet and actually hits something when he takes it off, then I'm going to go with they just can't see what there trying to hit. As for the ammo expenditure per hostile, it was calculated that only about 10% of soldiers actually try to hit the target. Now, this was after WWII, so I don't know about today, but I'd say we haven't changed much.
It's said that the helmets are connected to the aiming of their guns. And the reason Luke can't see out of the one he puts on is its only for the trooper he took it from.
I believe it's from books before Disney took over.
@@marcussinclaire4890 Disney ruins everything they touch. They should've just left Lucas film alone.
Stormtrooper helmets only works for the stormtrooper that it belongs to not anyone else
Due to the dna of the wearer
@@Q1081thegamer I'd believe that, if Ezra didn't hit anything while wearing one.
this all imperial propaganda
Love this comment lol
Storm troopers have terrible aim miss
