I Think The Stormtroopers Would Still Win. They Have Superior Firepower -- Blasters Pack A Punch, Especially
I think the stormtroopers would still win. They have superior firepower -- blasters pack a punch, especially when their enemies aren't wearing any armor -- and they have extra mobility if you consider jumptroopers (the dudes with the jetpacks, who also exist in canon) and scout troopers with their speeder bikes.
I don't think that blaster bolts in Star Wars experience notable bullet drop -- their trajectory seems to be straight -- though because they're made of plasma they probably lose their "shape" and velocity before they can go far out of trajectory if they go far enough without hitting anything.
That in mind, though, their blasters are probably more accurate.
Also, I think the sturmtruppen's tactics wouldn't work well against the Empire's stormtroopers, as the Empire's stormtroopers have tactics similar to theirs except they have better tech and more efficient communication (comms in helmets). Gas probably wouldn't work against them because of their helmet filters. If both sides have artillery, the (Galactic Empire's) stormtroopers are 100% winning.
As we see in the movies, the Empire's match in tactics was actually guerilla tactics, not being fought head on or trench warfare (which we see a bit of in Solo.)
Also I guess it depends on how you want to see the stormtroopers in Star Wars, but I feel the general consensus is just that the protagonists have mega plot armor when it comes to them, and them not being able to see in their helmets isn't canon, just a gag (some people have explained it away as the helmets' extra features allowing more visbility to cease functioning when removed improperly -- I think this might be a thing in the Legends/EU but not canon?)
But yeah Long Live The Empire
CALLING ALL HISTORY NERDS AND STAR WARS FANS!
I have a question I have been debating. In a one on one battle on a battlefield, which army would win, Star Wars Stormtroopers or WW1 German Sturmtruppen? The Stormtroopers have better tech but the Sturmtruppen use better tactics.

![Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.❞ — Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate) OH WAIT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE • Cecilia Payne’s mother refused to spend money on her college education, so she won a scholarship to Cambridge. • Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn’t give her a degree because she was a woman, so she said to heck with that and moved to the United States to work at Harvard. • Cecilia Payne was the first person ever to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College, with what Otto Strauve called “the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy.” • Not only did Cecilia Payne discover what the universe is made of, she also discovered what the sun is made of (Henry Norris Russell, a fellow astronomer, is usually given credit for discovering that the sun’s composition is different from the Earth’s, but he came to his conclusions four years later than Payne — after telling her not to publish). • Cecilia Payne is the reason we know basically anything about variable stars (stars whose brightness as seen from earth fluctuates). Literally every other study on variable stars is based on her work. • Cecilia Payne was the first woman to be promoted to full professor from within Harvard, and is often credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women in the Harvard science department and in astronomy, as well as inspiring entire generations of women to take up science. • Cecilia Payne is awesome and everyone should know her.

average detransitioner on the internet: instead of giving in to my gender dysphoria I found God ❤️ thank you lord for my heterosexual spouse who will guilt trip me into staying the gender assigned to me at birth. remember transies it's more delusional to be trans than to believe in god and noah's ark unironically 🤗 I hope all of you choose to suffer like me 😇
they need to make a separate search function for when you do not wanna fuck the character youre looking up

The amount of hate for the Fallout show is wild?? Especially for most people who are spewing it having not watched it.. at all, and are just going off of what others say on social media.
Like the amount of vitriol and toxicity being thrown to anyone who even LIKES a Bethesda Fallout game or the show on Tumblr is crazy?
Please just let people like what they like. It's not that deep.
if there were two guys on the moon and the one killed the other with a rock would that be fucked up or what
not if he cheated, then it's completely justified
They don’t even attempt to assassinate US politicians anymore. You notice that? Not since the anthrax scare back for… who was it, Barack? And even that… pathetic. This new generation has no respect for an honest hitman. I’m not sure this new generation has any honest hitman - you see that shit with Boeing? Sloppy, fucking disgraceful - you kill the whistleblowers before they get halfway to a lawsuit. What kind of fucking amateur is doing faked suicides the night before testimony? Goddamn greenhorns. Back in my day someone tried to shoot Ronald Reagan in broad daylight. There used to be bomb threats to Congress. I took out a few union leaders in the utilities sector myself. Today’s generation? Won’t even threaten to throw a punch - not even over on that - what’s it now, ‘X’? They got no guts. None! And they don’t even have poor impulse control to boot! Too much of that - that panopticon anxiety bullshit. “Oh what if I get a called out post???” People used to send the president letters full of bioweapons. In the mail! Today’s generation? Not a chance. All because of woke.
