Oh, come on Drof, you know better than this. 
Its a win in the Krogan’s favor then. The durability of a krogan’s armor matches, if not already bests, a brute chieftain’s armor. Meanwhile, its canon that the sangheili’s armor is purposely designed to be crap (one of the books had an elite discussing with a prophet the difference between produced armors, human to elite. He notes human armor was superior to that which comes from the High Charity Assembly lines). Meanwhile, Urdnot Wrex had a bandoleer full of grenades explode on him, after being shot by a sniper. The only effect was a pissed-off krogan with a small hole in his armor. Other examples of Mass Effect’s armor durability include things like atmospheric entry (Mass Effect 2 Prologue).
Referring back to the strength analysis by Rama:
> 1) Wrex manages to lift and toss a roughly 90 kilo man into air, ten meters vertically, using him to bowl over a group of other humanoids. Assuming the force exerted upon the lift is equal in part to the work required to launch a one kilo ball ten meters into the air, then a Krogan would require a hundred times the lifting work capacity of the average human to accomplish such a feat. In fact compared to peak NFL athletes (as in the top 10%) a Krogan would be over twenty times stronger - at a minimum. Although the same muscles groups don’t necessarily translate into directly comparable levels of work (Wrex was tossing the weight along the weakest axis of any biped, the rotational cuff and bicep), the power required for such a feat would be equatable to a 2 ton bench press.

> 2) A “newborn” Krogan manages to heft a section of sheet metal with a volume of roughly 450,000 cm^3 (I don’t know how he calculated that number, but that sheet of metal had was larger then the krogan newborn (5:05)) with both arms extended from the pectorals, assuming it was lightweight aluminium the sheet would still weigh in at a whopping 1.2 tons; even a lightweight space age metal such as titanium would place the block at 2.25 metric tons.

> 3) 200 kilo plus Krogan are stated to be capable of easily outrunning genetically augmented Alliance Marines on foot and any human in general (the only reason this is noted is due to the fact that Greyson is heavily augmented to the point of appearing as a blur to his pursuers), while this doesn’t seem too noteworthy, the capacity for any large animal to accelerate itself to a running speed comparable to that of lighter, leaner animals does dictate an incredible degree of muscular strength. A Krogan would have to generate nearly three times the work in his leg muscles to match the average human, let alone (genetically augmented and conditioned) Alliance soldiers.
>
> 4) Krogan are capable of using stubby shotguns that are stated to break human bones when fired. The fact that the gun doesn’t spin right out of their hand the instant they fires it, makes them far stronger than any human. An AT High Impulse Weapon System (HIWS) doesn’t do that even when fired from a braced position, and that’s nearly 300 kg-m/s, which while capable of knocking back improperly mounted weapon systems doesn’t shatter bone. To reliably wield a weapon that can shatter human bones requires incredibly superhuman musculature.

> Although in my opinion this fight comes down to resilience, not strength. And as I’ve already outlined, unfortunately for the Sangheili Krogan are by and large ludicrously resilient. They’re covered in thick bullet resistant plates, have numerous redundant organs and their unique nervous system is seemingly immune to shock and paralysis. Wrex for example was caught out in a fuel air blast that would have scorched clean the lungs of a human and subsequently shot in the gut by a sniper rifle (which I have already posted above), the assailant later noting that he merely intended to slow down Wrex, not kill him.
From a physical perspective, the krogan is a more impressive specimen. Yes, Sangheili have incredible feats, but against natural born supersoldiers?
For the individual above who stated that “radioactive projectiles” from the carbine (which were replaced by reactive projectiles anyway) are somehow effective against krogan, you know, the same species who thrive on radioactive homeworlds… What exactly were you thinking? The krogan evolved in a lethal ecology. Over millions of years, the grim struggle to survive larger predators, virulent disease, and resource scarcity on their homeworld, Tuchanka, turned the lizards into quintessential survivors. Perhaps the most telling indicator of Tuchanka’s lethality is the krogan eyes. Although they are a predators species by any standard definition, their eyes evolved to be wide-set, as any Earth prey species like deer and cattle. Krogan eyes have a 240-degree arc of vision, better suited for spotting enemies sneaking up on them than for pursuit. Physically, the krogan are nigh-indestructible, with a tough hide impervious to any melee weapon short of a molecular blade. While they feel pain, it does not affect their ability to concentrate. They have multiple functioning examples of all major organs, and can often survive the loss of one or two of any type. Rather than a nervous system, they have an electrically conductive second circulatory system. A krogan can never be paralyzed - they may lose some fluid, but it can be replaced by the body in time.

The Widow, being an anti-armor sniper rifle, was designed with a dual-purpose: to destroy APCs (possibly tanks) and kill krogan.
Your mook sangheili warrior is helpless against the onslaught that is a krogan warrior.
