Irc more armored in the form of T-51 which got retconned to scale above the T-60 which no sells laser rifle fire which is already superior to the Guardsmen Las Rifle by a significant degree. (The Fallout Laser pistol does the same thing that the Guardsmen Rifle does)More armored how?
The Mechanicus has access to far more advanced armor, and even if laser rifles from FO are impressive in some ways I don't think they hold a candle to the performance of more advanced Warhammer tech.
Remember that the IG flashlight is an equivalent damage wise to an anti-material rifle, like some of the truly big guns we see later on in FO:NV.
Don't recally their exact names but one was definitely an anti-material rifle.
Needless to say the NCR is packing a ridiculous amount of fire power and ordinance to take down dozens of T-51 users. Comparatively speaking the Skitaari aren't as well armor and the Skitaari Rangers heads have little to no armor making them vulnerable to headshots.
Altho the Vanguard are way better armored I don't think they can take several mag dumps of Service Rifle ammo without serious harm and or death
