@LexYeen also i bet stormtrooper armor is optimized to defend against blasters, too
would probably crumple to something with momentum

@Felthry yup, my thinking too. it's expensive to outfit troops, and the Empire doesn't care about people, so armor their troops against the most common weapons and let the Force sort it out from there.
@Felthry ever seen shotgun slug ballistic gel tests?
even .410 slugs are terrifying.
