Hello,
People, make up all the excuses and explanations you want but the simple truth is, Fallout canon regarding the Brotherhood of Steel and the Super Mutants for that matter has been screwed up by Bethesda for simple reasons;
"Brotherhood of Steel, those guys in those big armour suits right? Seeing as they're soldiers they're probably some force that is bringing order to the wasteland, lets make them wasteland police."
"Super Mutants, well they wanted to overtake the wasteland in Fallout 1, we see no reason why they shouldn't try doing that in Fallout 3, so lets use them like that."
I am pretty sure that if some element within the Brotherhood would decide that they wanted to play 'wasteland cop', that they wouldn't be able to take technology such as Power Armour or laser weapons with them.
The Brotherhood Elders might not often agree on many issues but they sure as hell would not let some Paladins run away with their technology.
If the group was large enough that the Elders could not intervene, there would probably be a civil war amongst the two factions.
As for Super Mutants, well I don't have to explain that.
I have said many times before and I will say again, Bethesda is simply to lazy or uninspired to create its own factions and create a whole unique Fallout region.
