Ah, finally someone understands the fact the enemies aren't push overs.

For the armor, the Mandalorians have existed in the universe for awhile but only recently have come out of the shadows. Since DMR was a bounty hunter for most of his life, he has a lot of black market connections. I'm not sure how your team would get it though, however, they could have bought it on Alpha Harmony.
