I am both amused and slightly disturbed that these are for sale

[Chantry]

Yes, you too can own your very own storm trooper armor!

Sweet!  Is there a stormtrooper category is SASS?  I may actually shoot good (bad) enough to shoot in that category too!

I wouldn't be surprised after all we have the Jedi's don't we? We can turn this into StarWars instead of cowboy shooting!

Yeah, it’ll be the only category where you get credit for misses! 

[Cholla]

That would the answer for lead splatter. 

[Cypress Sun]

My View - Storm Trooper Cypress Sun. What a handsome Trooper.

 

Everyone else's view - Who's the dumbass fat guy in a Storm Trooper outfit.

People have been wearing these to ComicCon for years.

There are different manufacturers. Some cheaper. These are top o the line.

You could say that- since he's wearing a Batgirl costume.

Considering the size of the crowds, there's got to be a few normal folks there.

I guess I did pay $30 for a Civil War costume...(pajamas, really)

Ya'll do see the irony of a bunch of CAS shooters making comments on somebody dressing up in a costume, right?

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

Stormtroper category?  All hits are penalized?

[Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428]

I will freely admit, that in my youth I attended Star Trek conventions not only in uniform but occasionally in full prosthetic makeup.  Taint nothing wrong with dressing up in a costume to have a good time with like minded folks.   Kinda like dressing up cowboy…

They’re only precise when shooting a parked sand crawler at broadside.

Lol, it never even crossed my mind when I posted the link.  Being a stormtrooper reenactor is cheaper than SASS

 

And for those of you wanting to wear the white helmet:    https://501st.com/     They do charity work as well as appearances.

Normal:  Noun??  Setting on a Clothes Dryer??

Naw....  It's here in California.  They can have a bunch of these events without having to tap into the "normal folks" reserves.

California has a "normal folks reserve"?

 

Imagine that!

 

When did they start that?

And the scary as hhell

 

I wonder if that's the same guy as is doing Batgirl up there?

It’s not really a “reserve” so much as it is a secret stash. 

Then again…we live here so maybe we really aren’t “normal” after all…

What do you think @Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967?

Believe it or not, there actually is a segment of the population that would be considered "normal" - albeit a small segment.

 

Hopefully, someday a few folk from that group might even be able to break into politics!  Not that they would be effective; they'd still be horribly outnumbered - but they could provide a glimmer of hope....

And, unfortunately for ca (NCca), that segment is getting smaller! I was one but escaped!

[Trailrider #896]

But wouldn't you have to use a real blaster, or maybe a phaser?  I do understand DOD is working on directed energy weapons, but they take the size of a large aircraft...for the present. 

Live long and prosper!

I get what your saying but at least we’re competing in an shooting event and not just strutting around in goofy costumes. You could also argue that we’re preserving history to a point and not just all fictional characters that never existed!

[Utah Bob #35998]

Whatever floats your boat. I don’t care.
