[Star Wars Legends/Republic Commando] How the hell were the Republic able to obtain any victories considering how tough Super Battle Droids are?

Those things can tank multiple rounds of my elite rifle and sniper shots to their head. And my weapons are better than the average clone trooper. How the hell did normal clones survive any of these battles?

You think your weapons are better than the average trooper's? How wrong you are

 Your gun is designed for modularity and lightness: not for firepower. When you can transform your gun from a machine gun to a grenade launcher to a sniper rifle, a few sacrifices have to be made. The thing is, what with all the explosive charges, and the door-breachers, and the emergency bacta each commando carries, the weapon the clone commando wields **has** to be light.
