So that means those stormtroopers must have been briefed to miss. If they are not being ordered to miss, perhaps an unseen presence is messing with their aim. Equally, the explanation could be far more prosaic. After all, how does one become a stormtrooper anyway? Rex responded by yelling, " It's this helmet.
I can't see! Part of that could be because he was a high-ranking clone trooper, but another part is because the helmet was obstructing his view. Star Wars Rebels wasn't the first property to make fun of stormtroopers and their armor. Luke made a similar statement in A New Hope when he disguised himself as a stormtrooper, saying that he couldn't see a thing in the armor. During Episode IV the Stormtroopers did not miss because they had orders to kill anyone who was not the princess. The Force protects the Jedi.
According to the poster, the Jedi use the Force to ensure that the Stormtroopers can not hit them. But them why could they no-shoot Han Solo or Chewy? Stormtroopers are inherently inferior to clones. While Clones were created and genetically modified to be the perfect soldiers, Stormtroopers, on the other hand, were mostly just human recruits.
The Debate. All that collateral behind them? That's caused by the bullets going through them. Mass Effect 3 : On Arrae, Cerberus troopers repeatedly fail to hit several slowly moving targets ten feet away during a cutscene. This is especially jarring since the average Cerberus soldier can shoot the wings off of a fly in normal gameplay, especially on Insanity. Played for Laughs in Mortal Kombat 11 's Chapter 6. This pushes a Berserk Button as Past Johnny Cage charges on his attackers with a riot shield and an assault rifle, firing wildly at them All he manages to do is hit them with his shield.
Papers, Please : The border guards can't seem to hit a target to save their lives, even when it's running headlong towards them in a straight line. It eventually gets to the point where you're given authorization to shoot terrorists yourself, presumably in an effort to help stave off some of the casualties.
In Perfect Dark , there is a solo mission called "The Duel" where if you play in Special Agent or higher, you will face against a Jonathan simulant and pretty much his aim is so terrible that no matter how close you are to him, he will ALWAYS miss you.
It's not actually his aim that's at fault: the problem is that the version of Johnathan you face in "The Duel" uses the same coding as the version who accompanies you in some of the storyline missions — including the part about him being unable to damage the player. In Perfect Dark Zero , Mai Hem is the undefeated champion of Death Match, but she can rarely hit the broad side of a barn at long range, even on Perfect Agent difficulty.
Thus, the best strategy is to fire bursts from the balcony, and go full-auto or use the Superdragon's noob tube when she or her clones try to flank. The mooks have even worse accuracy with automatics. Even on Impossible difficulty, Red Faction 's mooks have pretty lame accuracy at long range, not counting snipers and Elite Mooks.
Ditto for Annette in Resident Evil 2 , who suffers from this when she tries to shoot Ada in the sewers, although she accidentally hits Leon when he jumps in the way. In Return to Castle Wolfenstein , this trope affects the run-of-the-mill Nazi mooks , but not the female SS Paranormal Elite Mooks , who are deadly accurate even with automatic weapons. A playable example happens in Silent Hill 2. James has never held a gun before in his life, so he's a crap shot at it, being incapable of hitting a non-boss enemy from a room's length.
With his flashlight off, you're lucky if you can hit a mannequin at arm's length. When he gets the hunting rifle this changes, though the ammo is so limited that the only enemy you'd use it against is Pyramid Head and Mary , both of which are fought in an arena.
In Silent Hill , Kaufmann shoots at Harry from an arm's length away in a fairly well lit room and fails to hit him. With the sole exception of Inspector Fox, all ranged enemies in Sly Cooper games avert this. Even the ones who throw rocks. Given that the Inspector is perfectly capable of shooting straight when she's playable, one explanation is that she's so incensed by Sly's presence that her aim goes to pot.
They're actually playing with you because you're so fun to shoot at, they could hit you on the first shot if they wanted to. Star Wars : Goofing on this trope, the Star Wars First-Person Shooter games often feature the Stormtroopers' blaster rifle as the least accurate weapon in the game. Some Lampshade Hanging in Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast : troopers can be overheard talking about how difficult it is to see out of their helmets, how badly designed their rifles are to control recoil, etc.
Some choice quotes: Random Stormtrooper: I'd like to see you come down here and try to hit something while you're wearing this damn helmet so I can sit in an air conditioned office and tell you how stupid you are! Random Stormtrooper: You can't stay on target with these things! You miss your first shot, and you're lying on the ground with a hole blasted through your armor. Commander Cody: The Stormtroopers in my own battalion are expendable buffoons.
Web Animation. This animation from Brazilian website Charges. One of the theories is that the guards are Stormtroopers. One of them even says Stormtroopers never hit their targets.
The popular flash series Madness Combat features Faceless Goons that couldn't hit a sleeping elephant with a sniper rifle. This is arguably done for black humor as it's obvious the series takes place in a Crapsack World. If you look closely at the beginning of Madness Depredation there's a Lampshade Hanging. One of the henchmen clumsily shoots himself. Still, a few mooks do get lucky and have managed to hit the protagonists Not that it helps them.
A running gag in Red vs. Blue is that Church simply can never, ever hit anything. In the first season, he merely has the fairly common among some players problem of being a lousy sniper despite bogarting the sniper rifle constantly. Later it's Flanderized to the point that he empties an entire clip trying to shoot someone that he is kneeling in front of, less than two feet away and then has to ask Washington to do it for him.
Partially justified in that Church is the copy of a man who was rejected for military service, and never received training. Plus he was using a body built by someone with questionable electrical, mechanical, and programming skills.
But mainly just played for laughs. In Legendary frog's Code Veronica flash, Alfred Ashford is shooting at Claire with his sniper rifle but keeps missing, and when she's right in front of him he shoots at her several times point blank and misses every shot, including one time when he hits the wall behind him.
In fact, the only time he hits his target is when he shoots at the ceiling to make a point and a piece of the ceiling falls down and hits him on the head. In Volume 7, they chase after Team JNR and Oscar trying to arrest them, and despite shooting in an enclosed hallway from a relatively close range, each and every shot misses. It's a large part of why he lost to Rainbow Dash — Starscream has trouble hitting giant robots, so there's no way he's going to be able to land a hit on the much smaller and more agile pony.
He eventually improves as the series progresses. Web Original. Exaggerated in the last episode of Season 4 of Chad Vader , when Jeremy and a Stormtrooper fail to shoot each other, even though they're standing about four feet apart. Jeremy: These blasters are terrible! Linkara: Excellent job, Mr. Except for the fact that you missed.
A redshirt and a Stormtrooper get into a fight. The Stormtrooper misses every shot. The redshirt dies anyway. Western Animation. Blastronaut in the Adventure Time episode "Hitman".
Blastronaut was hired to "hit the hitman" and swooped in, all guns blazing, and missed every shot, before Scorcher destroyed his outfit. In one episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog , Sonic is made sheriff of an old-western town and is set up to participate in a shoot-out with some of Robotnik's robots.
However, Sonic reveals that he's a real poor shot — he can't even hit the broad side of a barn — literally; Tails takes him to a broad side of a barn, Sonic shoots at it and it's completely unscathed!
It takes some quick maneuvering for the hedgehog to take out his foes. Lampshaded in an episode of American Dad! One remarks on how unlikely it is that they'd all miss, and another says that not killing people is his New Year's Resolution. However, this averted with Firebending soldiers under Ozai's or Azula's command, in which the heroes usually have to protect themselves or dodge them.
Also averted with the Yuyan archers, because they are well known for their deadly accuracy. Most police officers in superhero series.
Surely some police officer would think of just shooting Joker as soon as he shows up and giggles. Especially given that he's a known cop-killer and mass murderer. Granted, killing him would kill the series but most of Batman 's enemies are not bullet-proof. Of course, with the Joker, it's hard to tell whether a gunshot would stop him for long. Theoretically, it would take just one person with a good shot.
Or an NRA member. In an episode of Batman: The Animated Series , Batman himself realizes that he's been very lucky in avoiding death, and wonders aloud if The Joker, Two-Face, or "some punk" will get lucky someday. In many episodes, thugs armed with Thompson machine guns will fire nonstop at a hero or innocent and still miss every shot.
Speaking of Batman: The Animated Series , Mooks can be all over the map in terms of aim though it's safe to assume they never actually kill an enemy, considering the show's intended age group , but one henchman in the episode POV makes Darth Vader himself proud. He catches Batman and Montoya off-guard and proceeds to shoot around them in a near-perfect outline.
He then continues to fire above them for about three straight seconds while Batman pulls out his grapple gun and repels away still without getting hit. Guys like this make you wonder if Bruce Wayne pays off some of these henchmen to intentionally miss. Averted in Batman: Gotham Knight ; at first, the shootouts look like the typical "Mooks open fire with automatic weapons, Batman dodges them all easily".
However, later in the movie it's explained that Batman actually does get hit with a few bullets whenever faced with automatic fire, it's just that his armored suit protects him as long as he's at long range. Beware the Batman : In "Hero", the crooks who take over the restaurant unload hundreds of shots at Deathstroke and somehow miss with all of them, even when he is standing at point blank range.
Parodied on Black Dynamite : That Bastard Kurtis orders his brothers to shoot at Black Dynamite and his gang and they completely miss, carving the words "We missed" into the wall behind them with one shooter discharging after everyone else and adding the dot on the 'i'.
Nobody on The Boondocks ever gets hit by bullets unless their name is Gangstalicious. Very much lampshaded when a gang tries to execute Gangstalicious and shoots him up at point-blank range
