Only today's modern day weapons that can fire armor peircing rounds or modifyed special forces weapons capable of firing HE rounds are capable of firing rounds effective of pentrating Stormtrooper armor. It is some of the most advanced protectional equipment of it's day and it's very reliable. If you would refer to the protective measures of the Stormtrooper page on the Star Wars wiki, you will see that it is specially designed to endure ballistic fire from more primitive weapons such as ours which would be seen as primitive to them. Only modifyed special forces weapons or a team of snipers all armed with 50. caliber armor peircing round would stand a chance against the Stormtroopers.
