BLASTERS DO NOT FIRE LASERS. That misconception triggers me more than anything else. They are bolts of energized particles, not light.

Clones and stormies wore the armor for actually more than just protection - which the armor did provide against shrapnel, debris, collapsing roofs, and glancing blaster bolts. The armor features a number of other features to make combat easier, especially in the helmet, which came complete with night vision, HUD targeting systems linked to their blasters, communications, and air filtering (some clones liked to joke that they were lever arms for their helmets to pull triggers). In addition, it has a significant psychological effect, providing the image of a uniform force that looks tough and has certainly proven so.
