A group of Legionaries run up to you...

Run them into a Cazador nest, walk to New Vegas, buy a lawn chair and a bag of popcorn, casually stroll back, watch them have at it for the next few hours since they're so ballstastically difficult to kill
 
My usual response is to look really surprised for a second, spring a wide-eyed maniacal grin, pop a Turbo, pop a Slasher, run towards the center of the mob giggling like a flesh-eating mental patient, and then start spinning in a circle firing 40mm grenades at the ground like it was the Fourth of July.


Yeah, as I see them approaching (usually they attack on sight) I stick back and pop my grenade launcher at them. When the ones up close come, I pull out a Chainsaw (or Thermic Lance) and take them down. For the ones left, I pull out my Assault Carbine (or Survivalist's Rifle if I have it) and clean up.
 
The first time I ever let 'er rip with a fully upgraded GRA Assault Rifle was against one of those legion kill teams near Repconn. I could not believe how fast I had to change mags, or how fast they died. That thing is an MG42 with the firing speed enhancement.
 
Yep, it's firing speed more than makes up for its low damage. Usually if you have AP (armor piercing) ammunition in the clip, your unstoppable.
 
Since I killed off the legionaries in Nipton in my two last gameplays they started to attack me after that, it was really scary, they are really hard to kill and I only had ED-E for support, so my solution was to always carry with me a grenade launcher to kill them off when they approached.
 
the first time i ran into them, i had a pretty specialized loadout/build for stealth/sniping/criticals.

they got the drop on me, as i was expecting some bark scorpions past those rocks. then i underestimated them, expecting a lulzy charge with machetes. instead, they hung back & blew holes through me & my ghost shirt (joshua graham armor) with SMGs & marksman carbines.

oh, the humanity :twitch:
 
Take out my faithful machete. Behead the first one, and throw a spear into the chest of the second one. By now they're shooting at my ass, so find cover somewhere. Look through my inventory, what do I have. A 10mm pistol with only one clip. I reach up from behind where I'm hiding, and unload the clip into the third legionnaire. By this time, the leader of the party has lost all of his ammunition also. He pulls out a machete, and I pull out mine, and the rest is history.
 
"Quid gannit? Ego sum ​​a centurio legionis! Tu verticem linea hebetudine exemplum! Oportuerat me vos flagellis tuis incompetentia! Rorate detisque mihi viginti!"
