RE: [SG, FMA] Tyrannids

One answer to their horrible aim is that they use a blaster with a
tremendous amount of recoil since they are unable to get a grouping of
less than 6 feet from ranges of less than 100 feet.  

Another possibility is that having worn a stormtrooper helmet prop, the
vision bubbles are so horribly small that I suspect that their
inaccuracy is more likely due to the fact that they can't see worth
squat. (i.e. in the movies, you rarely see a stormtrooper try to aim by
bringing the blaster to eye level.  I think that due to some imperial
oversight, a high tech, very expensive optic system was incoporated into
the stormtrooper armor (as a favor to a high ranking senator with
military contracts) that really doesn't work.  After purchasing millions
of such units, the Empire could not openly admit that it had made a
mistake and continues to promote the use of the system.

I would also like to point out that the rebels in general don't seem to
have much better aim (i.e. the opening sequence where the troopers enter
the Corellian corvette.)
