ESB: shoots multiple Stormtroopers in her third Bespin outfit.
ROTJ: shoots multiple Scout Bikers/Stormtroopers in her Endor fatigues. Also shoots one of Jabba's guards in her Boushh disguise (albeit off-camera).

I do agree Leia is at her most athletic in the slave outfit, but I would argue that she had to be until she was able to get a gun.

I know I know. I realized it while I wrote that comment. I chose not to regard her scenes with blasters because they didn't require any athleticism.
