Only if you have aids!
Now Khem, with all your wisdom I was hoping you could answer this for me.
This has bothered me since I first saw Star Wars as a little tacker. Why do the Storm Troopers wear full body armour, if they can still die from one hit from a laser gun?
What's the point of their outfits in the first place - well, apart from looking rather cool.
I await your answer.
it protects them against other things, like atmosphere and biological weapons apparently...
The troopers' most distinctive equipment is the white battle armor they normally wear. The complete 18-piece armor set completely encases the body and typically has no individually distinguishing marking outside of rank. In fact, the casual first-time observer sometimes mistakes the stormtroopers as a form of battle droid. In certain situations however, stormtroopers will sometimes wear camouflage armor to help them blend in with different environments. This reform was instituted after the embarrassing defeat at the Battle of Endor where a legion of stormtroopers was defeated by a large Rebel-Ewok attack force.
The reinforced helmet contains advanced breathing filters (which act as protection against chemical and biological attacks, as well as toxins) and a comlink for instant communication with other units. The comlink uses linked encoding sequences to rotate frequencies every few seconds while keeping all troopers in the unit synchronized (c.f. real world frequency-hopping spread spectrum radios). If a trooper's helmet is removed without the trooper first hitting the comlink's control stud (most likely found on the under-rim of the helmet), the frequency coding routine is automatically deleted from that helmet.
The automatic polarizing lenses protect the trooper against intense glare and provide them with enhanced combat vision or holographic vision processors which allow vision through many barriers such as smoke, darkness and fire. The Multi-Frequency Targeting and Acquisition System (MFTAS) helps with the stormtroopers' perception in darkness as well as smoke and other visibility obscuring conditions.
The helmet also assists in aiming at moving targets. The Comtech Series IV helmet speaker uses three-phase sonic filtering for clear sound (for troopers, it is connected to the audio pickup). It also has a vocoder for talking to non-stormtroopers. The backplate contains an emergency twenty minutes of oxygen if the trooper should be so unlucky to be exposed to vacuum or be trapped underwater. It also contains a power pack. The stomach armour contains a manual suit seal and environmental controls. The thigh armor has a reinforced alloy plate ridge, and the lower right side, near the knee, contains the suits system power cells. The left upper side of the shin armour has a knee protector plate for use with sniping. The utility belt has two blast energy sinks to protect the trooper's hips. The stormtrooper's boots are not armoured, but they are treaded. The armour is equipped with IFF circuitry for identification and command purposes for identifying each other.
It also protects the troopers from very harsh environments as well as projectiles and impact weapons. The armour might be penetrated by a direct blaster bolt, but it will reduce damage from the bolts absorbed significantly. The body glove allows for operation in warm or cold climates, however it can protect the trooper from almost any environment, from total vacuum conditions to the very extremes in cold and heat for a very limited period of time.
Some special features include a wrist comlink, a tiny battle Holocam built into the helmet, a resonator (to open secure doors) built into their armor, and an external helmet light. Power gloves help in hand to hand combat.
