 The Rude Gesture is a linear railgun autocannon based around magnetic rail technology. The unit utilizes a self-adjusting set of rails which adjust to fit various solid ammunition sizes, thus allowing the variable auto-cannon to utilize anything from 10mm bullets to 25mm grenades. This system is designed as a secondary weapon; ideally the Militant will carry an infantry heavy support weapon as its primary means of attack, while the Rude Gesture will provide support. e.g., a Militant carrying an infantry rifle may carry anti-armor grenades for its cannon, while one carrying a rocket launcher may choose anti-infantry flechettes. The Rude Gesture is a linear railgun autocannon based around magnetic rail technology.

-==Armor and Exoskeleton==+===Armor and Exoskeleton===
 The exoskeleton is designed to be a first-line defense against the hazards of combat.  The exoskeleton uses primarily tungsten-alloy plating, chosen for its very high melting point and hardness. The armor plating is belted together and undercoated using buckypaper. The extreme tensile strength of this weave increases the armor's absorb kinetic energy exponentially, while at the same time it acts as a sort of makeshift Faraday cage to protect the internal systems from energy discharges. The exoskeleton is designed to be a first-line defense against the hazards of combat.  The exoskeleton uses primarily tungsten-alloy plating, chosen for its very high melting point and hardness.

 When voltage is applied to these polymers they will change their shape in a predefined way, not dissimilar to the way human muscles will contract when they receive a signal from the nervous system. Carbon nanotubes are the staple of the polymers, allowing for the extreme tensile strength needed to lift thousands of pounds. Lining the structure of the muscles is a membrane of buckypaper treated with a coating to protect against atmospheric corrosion.   When voltage is applied to these polymers they will change their shape in a predefined way, not dissimilar to the way human muscles will contract when they receive a signal from the nervous system.

-==Endoskeleton==+===Endoskeleton===
 Various heavier and high density metals are used in the endoskeleton, commonly alloyed with tungsten or titanium to prevent corrosion. This makes for quite a relatively heavy frame, but gives it the structural integrity to withstand higher stress levels needed to effective utilize the strength of their electroactive polymer muscles. Various heavier and high density metals are used in the endoskeleton, commonly alloyed with tungsten or titanium to prevent corrosion.

 The T04 uses electromagnetics to hold its control rods out of the core. This feature is so that in the event of a power loss, gravity will instantly pull the rods back into the core and shut down the nuclear reactions before a meltdown can occur. The T04 uses electromagnetics to hold its control rods out of the core.

-**Note: Unless an exponential reaction rate is triggered by a nuclear self-destruct mechanism or certain high energy weapons, the Militant reactor will not be able to achieve the supercriticality needed to cause a nuclear explosion. Under normal circumstances, an uncontrolled chain reaction will result in a nuclear meltdown; the core will increase in temperature until it melts through the reactor, spilling forth molten fuel and dangerous amounts of radiation. Such an event would most likely be caused by faulty control rod mechanisms or coolant loss.+Note: Unless an exponential reaction rate is triggered by a nuclear self-destruct mechanism or certain high energy weapons, the Militant reactor will not be able to achieve the supercriticality needed to cause a nuclear explosion.

 The Militant carries more than enough fissile fuel to create a nuclear explosion; the problem is actually getting the fuel to achieve to reaction rate needed for such an event. The "Plan B" Reactor Detonation assembly uses sets of explosive lenses surrounding the reactor's physical shielding, which when detonated forces the reactor core to implode in on itself and compress the fuel rods together. In addition, this neutron trigger components are placed in conjunction with certain blasting caps; when the blast shockwave compresses these components together, they react to create short life but high yield neutron radiation sources and further increasing the reaction rate.  The Militant carries more than enough fissile fuel to create a nuclear explosion; the problem is actually getting the fuel to achieve to reaction rate needed for such an event.

-==Microinertia Drive==+===Microinertia Drive===
 The Militant possesses a microinertia drive, which which is the little sister of the Intertialess Drive. The device generates an antigravity field that reduces the gravity and the effective mass of the unit, therefore giving it the capacity to reduce its weight as it sees fit. This allows its relatively pathetic booster packs to hurl the Militant great distances. The Militant possesses a microinertia drive, which which is the little sister of the Intertialess Drive.

-==Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters==+===Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters===
 The MPD thruster works by feeding ionized lithium into an accelerator pocket, where electromagnetic fields are generated using the main reactor. The lithium plasma and the fields  react with one another to produce Lorentz force, and thereby propel the plasma. MPD thrusters produce extremely high specific impulses (which can be further increased in strength by drawing more power into system). This allows Militant to jump great distances when used in conjunction with the Microinertia Drive, and travel vast distances using small fuel reserves. The MPD thruster works by feeding ionized lithium into an accelerator pocket, where electromagnetic fields are generated using the main reactor.
