I’ve always glazed over the extra little piece over Crosshair’s chest plate on his Bad Batch armor. Always just thought "oh, his armor design is cool and unique."
IT'S LITERALLY A CUSHION FOR THE STOCK OF HIS RIFLE FOR THE RECOIL.
I've shot some rifles here and there and GD your shoulder gets sore from getting punched with the recoil, no matter how good you are at compensating/bracing. Even with his katarn-class armor, I'm sure it wouldn't be comfy. Because Crosshair is the only clone we really see with something like this, I'm going to assume it's not standard-issue. Which then means he went to Space-JoAnn's or raided the GAR supply closet for some scraps and arts-and-crafts-ed it himself.
Then I noticed his Empire armor doesn’t have that cushion. Yes de-individualization, but it’s also an indication that the Empire doesn’t care about any discomfort/pain that Crosshair may suffer from his rifle recoil. I can’t with this 😭
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk 😭🫠
also tagging some friends who witnessed this epiphany/may be interested since I added a few things lmao

One of my favourite tropes in fanfic is the clones trying to get their Jedi to wear some armour. My friend however, suggested a very fun solution to the clones their issue.
Paint ball guns.
The clones start carrying around paint ball guns and try to hit their General’s and Jedi Commanders wherever they are exposed.
But just imagine they are in the middle of a meeting, and one of the clones just whips out a paint ball gun and tries to shoot their commanding officer.
“This wouldn’t have happened if you were wearing armour, sir.”
Nix whittles events or people into small pieces of wood if she wants to remember them. After many run-ins during TCW she ends up whittling a small figure of crosshair.
During s2, she runs into the batch and gives it to omega after she learns how much omega misses him 😭
