Hello there everyone My name is mechamaniac12. As you can tell I am a fan of mechs. A little curiousity here but what kind of tech rules would custom weapons come under?

There are no rules for custom weapons. Heavy Metal programs provide some support for them, but weapon design is not supported in published rules.
Which means you're free to do whatever you like. 
Generally, custom weapons get better receptions from other players when the new weapons are comparable in effectiveness to other weapons of that faction. Dramatically more powerful weapons (and, often, weapons without a good backstory to explain them) are not so well received.
While custom weapons are not within the rules, custom 'Mechs, tanks, etc. are currently supported by Tech Manual (most units), Tactical Operations (advanced weapons and equipment, and some vehicle types), and Strategic Operations (large spacecraft like WarShips).

I see with the equipment that they have to be realistic and believable.
Anyway most of the equipment I make are generally used by either clans or by mercs there by making them more rare and exspensive.
Plus some of the equipments and units I will design will be used only by certain units and clans.
