Brotherhood T-51b power armor

The Brotherhood T-51b power armor is a piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Brotherhood T-51b power armor provides a Damage Threshold of 25 as well as a bonus of 1 to Strength and +25% Radiation resistance. It can be repaired with T-51b power armor, T-45d power armor, and with salvaged power armor. You must have Power Armor Training in order to wear this armor.

This armor acts as a Brotherhood of Steel disguise, which will make NCR personnel hostile towards you (Unless you have peacefully completed the Brotherhood section of For the Republic, Part 2).

Locations
Note: Its almost impossible to pickpocket it, even with a sneak skill of 100 or a Stealth Boy.
 * Hidden Valley bunker: can be pickpocketed from Head Paladin Hardin if he becomes Elder as he will not wear it.
 * Hidden Valley: two can be found in a radioactive crater east. (If you only find the body of the dead paladin with the logs, the other body probably glitched into the side of the crater). About 5 centaurs are in and around the crater including a bigger centaur called Moe.
 * Nellis Air Force Base: two can be found just outside the base. You can find while avoiding the artillery shells flying at you; or gain entrance to Nellis then come back and search in relative safety.
 * REPCONN headquarters: two can be found on the third floor. You'll find two downed Brotherhood of Steel members, one under a fallen chunk of ceiling, the other against the wall, a few feet from Piers Isley's Briefcase.
 * Four more can be looted from dead Paladins depending on how you finish Veronica's quest, I Could Make You Care.
 * Can be obtained from Hidden Valley if the player has the Mister Sandman perk and kills sleeping paladins. (Doesn't turn any BoS characters hostile), however, in a "Hidden" position, with a silenced weapon, The Brotherhood will turn hostile unlike any other faction if you stealthily kill members.
 * Can also be pickpocketed from sleeping Paladins as they will remove it while sleeping. The Paladin at the shooting range, however, will not remove his to go to sleep. Also, the Paladins who sleep in the beds near the range are the only ones who remove their armor for sleeping.

Bugs

 * Brotherhood T-51b power armor is much more common than intended, due to the armor occupying a list meant to hold Brotherhood T-45d power armor. Among other issues, this results in the dead paladins found in the quest Still in the Dark being attired in T-51b armor, rather than the intended T-45d armor.
 * A third-party bugfix for this issue can be found here: New Vegas Nexus. This fix is also included as part of the Community Bugfix Compilation.
 * Sitting on a bench or couch while wearing the armor will cause the shoulder guards to move out of place. Similar to other power armor such as the T-45d power armor.
 * After declaring peace between the Brotherhood and the NCR, regular soldiers will not attack you with the armor on, but Rangers will "see through your disguise" and attack you.
 * The NCR will attack you if you wear this armor but doesn't seem to care if Veronica is wearing it and Major Knight at Mojave Outpost will even repair it for you.
 * If you give a companion this armor while wearing it a pop-up screen with an OK button will appear, similar to if you play New Vegas on a PC with a mouse, telling you that you're not longer dressed as a member of the Brotherhood of Steel and is difficult to exit.
