I do believe the "bullet through the visor" story is a reference to fallout 2. In that game, when you aim your shots, you get a VATS style menu with hit percentages. Eyes are one of the options, and it was a great strategy to use the Gauss rifle and aim for the eyes of power armor enemies because it would bypass the armor.
The more you know...â¨

I'm sure there is some lore that will answer this question, but I've always wondered why the Brotherhood of Steel hardly used the Enclave's more advanced power armor, especially after the events of Fallout 3. To my understanding, they happily took Vertibirds, weapons, and schematics from the Enclave, but hardly bothered to use the advanced power armor that was most definitely plentiful to them after fo3.

I'd say the reason for changing from the big hump on the X-01 wasn't to improve the protection of the wearer, but more so to improve mobility and line of sight. If you take a look, that big ass hump also wraps around the head slightly. You don't see it in the game, but in reality that would block your line of sight if you look to your right or left.

I'm guessing an anti-materiel rifle or a high velocity bullet would be able to perice the visor of a suit of power armor. I'm guessing the visor could probably resist smaller rounds but it would damage the glass in such a way that it would effectively blind the person wearing it (I recommend looking up tests against real bulletproof glass)

On the jetpack:
I think the plans are pre-war, there's possibly even a handful of pre-war jet packs out there, but I doubt they were common or deployed in any way en masse. More than likely, they were in testing phases as an equipment piece for future deployments of the T60 PA. The Enclave likely had copies of the blueprints with plans to manufacture as needed, with copies of said plans and possibly working units falling into BoS hands after the Enclaves defeat.
While made for the T60, which makes sense given the rapid deployment and expectations of the T60 to be the best-of-the-best, I doubt it would be completely impossible for the BoS to backwards engineer the jetpacks to work with older armor, giving them some more deployment options. Just highly unlikely outside of a test to see if it works, or an absolute desperate move while having to field a mass of units clad in T45 and T51 in an urban environment.

Regarding the need for power armor training and refuelling the suit with later games, is to me, a matter of gameplay balance and not lore and as such will not be discussedâŚignorance is bliss, come join me! Correction: The Brotherhood of Steel did not make the chemical treatment for the hardened version of T-51, it was created by a man named Miles at the Boneyard and then by a man named Crockett in San Francisco. Huge thanks to Iron Reed for bringing this to my attention!
