Again, I think that the better way to save people is to get an edge over their enemies. Sure, you can steal their stuff, but then you are just equal forces. And Liberty Prime ends up getting blown to crap too, you can't rely on that. Really, the Tesla cannon is the only thing the BoS has done to give themselves an edge. Even then, do you think they figured out how to build that by standing in front of buildings? Did they stumble across the plans while delivering fresh water to people who had survived this long without it?
If they could make armor that can resist plasma weapons, or guns that can more easily go through their armor without being extremely bulky and hard to reload, good. Think about it, you have to expose your hiding place to take a single shot from the Tesla Cannon. While that is extremely devastating, the enemy now knows exactly where you are and that it will take you a while to get another good shot at them. all they have to do is spread apart and rush, then you're done for.
Now imagine you have a gun the size of a laser rifle that can pierce their armor. Sure, a single shot wont blow a group of 8 to pieces, but a single clip has the capability to take out 15. And reloading? A matter of seconds. If you could get something like that to your soldiers, they would be nearly unbeatable by the enemy. By studying technology, I think the outcasts are trying to create something like that. If it can drop a fully armed enclave soldier in one shot, imagine what it would do to a super mutant attack? Can you think how much safer Big Town would be with just one of those then it would be with 3 brotherhood soldiers standing in front of the bridge?
