[Fallout] What sort of damage can power armor take?

So I just for suited up in this power armor stuff the brotherhoods always using. Cool stuff, but I'm curious as to how big of a step it is over standard combat power armor? What kind of a beating can it take? What sort of weapons are ideal for penetrating it?

The T-51b is one of the best suits you could manage. It can take massive impacts (2.5k Joules!), the eye slits are bulletproof glass, it's resistant to laser and radiation damage due to a silver layer, and its microfusion pack (with ten THOUSAND years of power) gives you sixty thousand watts of power pumping through the hydraulics of the suit.

In short, you need massive explosives to reliably do damage to it. Otherwise, very little in the Wasteland will pose a challenge to you.
