That is certainly possible. Materials and structures react differently to difference projectiles. So something can be made to withstand a laser blast or small bullet but not be able to withstand a broad battering ram weighing hundreds of pounds that contacts a good chunk of a flat surface.

now the automatic explosions are something else entirely...

Little furry koalas can organize themselves against a heavily armed and organized battle group right? Bows and Arrows vs blasters, check.

I find myself rolling my eyes during that entire sequence. It should have been Wookies with bowcasters.
That was always a problem with the film. I choose to look at it as the storm troopers not really wanting to shoot teddy bears or something. But yes it's a problem. The Ewoks were always the biggest issue with the first three films.
