However, such weapons are still effective even in the Galactic Civil War era, mostly because most everyone uses blasters. By Star Wars‘ standards, the MA5 would just be a more effective slugthrower. The MA5 is much more primitive weapon than the E-11. Thus, the Marine will more than likely get the opportunity to get the first shot in, complete with a muttered “Who the hell wears white into battle?”. No amount of vision enhancement compensates for that eye-searing white. True, it doesn’t exactly match the surrounding ruined buildings, but it’s a lot harder to spot than bright white.Īs a result, the UNSC Marine is much more likely to spot the Stormtrooper, even with the latter’s vision enhancing helmet. In contrast, the standard armor of the UNSC Marine is an olive green color. Seriously Stormtrooper, what made you think a pure, brilliant white was a good color for a soldier? Sure, it makes you instantly recognizable to the people you’re oppressing, but it also makes you the same for your enemies.

Immediately, we can see that one combatant is at a severe disadvantage.
