Description: This device is intended for people who prefer to use their fists in combat, instead of a sword or blaster. It has a miniature SMG mounted on the underside of the gauntlet. Unfortunately, this SMG fires small (but quick-firing) rounds. It's not recommending for killing, more like maiming or suppressing fire. It also contains a datapad holster in the forearm area, which is pretty handy. The durasteel knuckles have copper mixed in, to add conductivity without taking away much durability. By pressing a button at the bottom of the palm, electric current can flow through the knuckles, adding quite a kick to your punches. The knuckles are separated from the rest of the gauntlets, so the electricity doesn't flow all the way through the gauntlets. The entire gauntlets are insulated with rubber, to avoid shocking the user. To make sure the user isn't uncomfortable, the gloves are further lined with silk. Where the gauntlets aren't durasteel, they are leather (to promote flexibility). Last but not least, these devices have little compressed air rockets around the edges, so it can shoot off and punch someone from up to fifteen feet away. In order for this to take place, the user must first stick their hand out straight. Then, once the gauntlet had been fired, it will take the form of a fist (electricity and all), and shoot towards the target. Unfortunately, due to the size of the fingers, it becomes nigh on impossible to use most blasters, as the fingers can't fit into the trigger area. If someone intends on using these with a blaster, it is recommended they get the trigger guard on their blaster extended.

Keep in mind that this cannot protect very well against something like force lightning.

How would this work, considering the wearer's fingers would be curled shut?

This is more meant to protect against the electric punch than anything.

Didn't really think of that. The user would have to make their hand straight in order to fire it, and the glove would automatically close upon launching.
