Despite Dave’s claims of having deep lore knowledge, I was a little surprised he was geeking out over the NCR power armor, and didn’t seem to know about the salvaged NCR power armor from FNV (or maybe he did but it’s in the pay walled longer version).

“They have the best equipment the NCR can get its hands on, power armor salvaged from our war with the Brotherhood. Techs strip out the joint servos so you don’t need special training to wear it. It feels like you’re carrying a brahmin on your back, but it can take a heck of a lot of punishment.”
I think there’s a big difference between salvaged power armor as seen in FNV, which is just heavy unpowered protection and a fully functional powered suit. It shows a technological step up for the NCR.
Oh, agree. I was just surprised it wasn’t mentioned. It seems like the salvaged armor would be a step in the reverse engineering process that would eventually lead to an NCR suit.
Didn’t even have to click the link to know that this has to be Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history
