Type-34 Infantry Support Exoskeleton

The Type-34 Infantry Support Exoskeleton is a combat exoskeleton in use with the Yamatai Imperial Army.

The Type-34 Heavy Assault exoskeleton is a high-power exoskeleton suit designed for and used by the Imperial Army, as well as the Kempeitai Special Response Unit. The exoskeleton not only provides increased physical strength and limited protection for the soldier, it is also equipped with a large amount of mounted weaponry to provide a single soldier with the firepower of an entire squad. On the right arm is mounted a 5.56mm automatic rifle, with three rocket-propelled grenade launchers mounted on the left arm. Two back-mounted armatures are able to carry even more weapons and equipment, such as 12.5mm machine guns and miniature rocket launchers. In addition to this weaponry, the soldier's armoured knuckle protectors allow the soldier to punch through 20cm of solid steel and crush skulls. However, the soldier's mobility is severely limited by the exoskeleton and movement is slow, limiting its use to specialised support troops.

Base model has assault rifle+grenade launcher mount on right and triple rocket launcher on left. Two "arms" on rear for mounting additional weapons, these can be slaved to follow the motions of either the left or right arms or both (default is left follows left, right follows right). The trigger for these armature weapons can also be the left hand or right hand trigger. Fine aiming is done through head-tracking and "smart" computer-aided targetting, though nobody is going to be sniping anything (except a very special character) Weapons include 16-cell missile launchers, 20mm autocannons, railguns and lasers. One variant has an over-the-shoulder 45mm cannon.

Overview
The Type-34 is designed to be used in conjunction with the soldier's standard equipment, meaning he still wears his normal body armour. The suit provides no additional armour except for the legs and back.
