Not even. Of the situations in which we see the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps, the only questionable scene is the running gunfight at the end of Empire. In Hope, we see them breaching and clearing a ship they intend to capture, seeking to capture key personnel, in narrow corridors where suppressing fire makes tactical sense. On Tatooine, we have detachments pulling checkpoint duty and just arriving as the Falcon departs. On the Death Star, our heroes were allowed to escape, and so they were under orders to harry but not to kill. In Empire, the assault on Hoth is performed by members of the 501st under Vader's personal command, again seeking key ARR High Command personnel to capture during the assault on the last evacuees of Echo Base. The running gunfight at Bespin is the questionable one, but a chase through twisty corridors is bad for any military. In Jedi, the scouts attempt to shoot very fast moving targets, and the legion deployed to capture was only initially surprised by the sudden ferocity of assault by the previously fairly docile natives, while locally outnumbered and ambushed. After initial confusion, they begin slaughtering en masse, and it is only until their armor is hijacked that the battle swings the other way once more.
