One thing that people overlook is that Geno's do stun damage. Unless you have high end armor with stun resists your just wasting the condition of your non-effective armor.
Im a sniper master combat medic and I love the geno caves. Mass poisons and flushingshot2 rock the crowds. I run from enhanced anything lol

Use the Acid Dmg rifle in there and it gets way easier. Save yer T21 for the Acklay. 
Trick to that place is to not attack anything until it attacks you. And the codes are static so remember them for next time.When you get down into the pit area, run like hell to the next door with the droid next to itand spam peace and let them all aggro on eachother. Same thing with the Acklay. Get his attention. Stack whatever bleeds/specials/poisons/burns anddo yer best dmg to him and try to let the other mobs attack him. Even if you incap, there's a good chance that other mobs will attack him and save yer butt untilyou get up, heal, then step back and own him with a dozen mobs helping you! LOL Loot him and Burst run like hell to the top! 
My best time from cave entrance to death of Acklay was around 16 minutes. Enjoy!

I prefer my stocked Laser Rifle to my t21 in the cave. The t21's heavy piercing is wasted on all but the acklay, and my Laser does 578 dmg (without powerup), while my t21 does 526. Of course, the Tenloss owns all other guns in there basically. Most mobs are least vulnerable to acid, and you can't go wrong with Med AP. I still use my Laser Rifle on the Droidekas, though.

In fact, I noticed that we wer'nt doin so hot until he got that t-21 rollin. My laser and jawa were pretty much ineffective. It was like throwing a pie against a brick wall.
Welll since most of them are week to acid and STUN, i think you underestimate the dmg of the jawa... I hunt there all the time... not for exp but for loot... and I have np smoking packs of them with a jawa... and yes... many rifleman/woman are over looked.. but the good ones... Everyone knows who they aer and pvping or hunting.... everyone wnats them with them!
It seemed like a toss up to me. Most stuff had 10 - 15% less resistance to stun than energy. With the laser ap2 it seemed to me that on most stuff I had better damage with the laser. With the jawa though, I was more accurate cause its ideal range is shorter which is what I was operating with in the caves. With the laser I was engageing at way too short of distances I usually had a -19 to a -29 to hit. The jawa was still minus but was usually in the single digits. I also had a bit more speed with the jawa. Every once in a while though I would get past the resists with the laser and do 1500 pts of damage. I could have a crappy jawa gun though. I am a noob rifleman so I dont have the ideal toys yet. I stress the YET! part.

You can get 4600 xp by using Conceal shot on tht genos in the 1st room. Go prone and widdle away at them one at time. Just dont try to loot them, they will reapawn on top of you and kill you. Other than that its a farm fest...just dont miss 2 times in a row.
