Period 7
After doing some research I think the individual weapons are pretty possible. The shoulder mini-guns would face some serious recoil that would make the suit very unbalanced. The wrist guns are more plausible, but still not really practical. The most important aspect to go over is the energy source. A reactor like that in Iron Man's suit is currently impossible. However during the Cold War Russia created a prototype Plasma Confinement System, which would have a similar ability to the reactor. It used magnetic fields in a circular shape to create energy. However the Plasma Confinement System was never really created so as of now there is no plausible power source. Next, the jet pack built into the boots aren't really possible. There are many different prototypes out for jetpacks. However, the jets in Iron Man's boots create so much thrust that Tony Stark or whoever is inside would end up flattened inside. Lastly, the display in the suit may seem like the least possible, but is not so far fetched. Google came out with classes that have many similar characteristics, such as voice controls and internet access.
Overall, the suit really isn't possible. This is pretty much what I figured, although I had more hope for the guns and jet boots being realistic. I was shocked that during the Cold Ward they came up with a similar energy idea as the arc reactor, especially because it was so long ago. But for the most part I was not surprised, most aspects of the technology are realistic, but right now we just dont have the technology to put everything together.
