Why couldn't Kyle Reese deal with the Terminator T-800?

This is a joke. Robocop was nearly defeated by the swat force, had it took one hit from the cobra assault cannon it would've been good night. Considering the terminator can function with half it's body blown in half, survive a tanker truck explosion. I doubt robocop would have survived that, sure if the terminator was unarmed in Robo's world enough hoodlums could take it down but so would Robocop as evidenced when it couldn't return fire against the swat team. I like both franchises equal but robocop loses if it goes up against a T-800.

"Well in some ways Cameron is a feminist cuck, so he wanted to abide by the common rule around that time that females should win in the end. Thus, Kyle had to die."

kyle did most work, though.

he put pipe bomb on terminator endoskeletons body.

sarah just give him coupe do grase after kyle do 99 percents fighting.

It's made with titanium alloy I think?

And -- if we're going by Genisys' lore -- .50 caliber rounds can easily dispense of the Terminator, as evidenced here:

It makes some sense because high-speed vehicles moving at least 40mph provided enough pounds of pressure per square inch to induce torsional force on the Terminator's limbs (hence his leg getting twisted up in the first film after getting hit by the truck).

Small arms don't appear to do much damage, but high caliber armor piercing rounds may have done the job.

I will have to re watch Robocop and check out the scene with ED-209 fighting it, I remember it fired a missile and hit one of the walls but even if Robo was hit by one, we are talking about one hit correct? And it was already damaged by that hit alone, we can't assume the cobra cannon was less powerful or more since they were fake weapons and whatever explosive rounds they had don't really exist. In any event I'm sure if the terminator took a few hits from the ED-209's guns, or missiles it would still keep going. This is assuming the T-800 still has it's skin over the skeleton to absorb some of the damage, but I didn't try to turn this into a Terminator vs Robocop topic so we can agree to disagree or not that Robo and T-800 are equals lol

As to the original question why couldn't Reese deal with the Terminator? Is it not obvious? He doesn't have access to military weaponry, and the Terminator can easily kill him if it's armed up the teeth with weapons of it's own.

Yep, it's literally that simple.

Another reason why Salvation pisses me off because...they're actually in the future, and they seem unable to handle anything Skynet throws at them lol

I don't get how you could think that as Reese himself said the terminators came froma network created by humans that computers used. He doesn't say anything about them coming from other planets and invading. If that was the case, Kyle and John wouldn't have taken down their defense grid. There'd also be no point in them sending a terminator through time cause they could just send a signal to their home planet to have more Terminators sent.
