DESCRIPTION​

Shock Boxing Gloves are easy to use gauntlets that shock your opponent on contact from the four stun conduits on the knuckle padding or the palm conduit. They are made from shock resistant materials, allowing the wielder to take advantage of the finger-less gloving for grappling. Upon contact with flesh the conduits activate, a nasty shock being dealt in a beautiful display of electricity being transferred. It proves for a stunning lightning-esque display making it popular for sporting events as well as an audible zapping sound.

It is outfitted with a standard power pack, allowing for 50 electric shocks before needing to be recharged or equipped with a new power pack per glove. The damage dealt by these shocks are much weaker than standard stun weaponry, a strike from a shock boxing glove more jarring on contact but does not disable use of limbs or cause unconsciousness without repeated strikes. Paired with a powerful punch these boxing gloves can be quite effective in hand to hand combat, even once a charge has been depleted. But usually coupled with the brute kinetic strikes behind them this is not an issue.

They have been known to be modified by criminal types to reduce total strikes available but boosting power, creating a weapon comparable to the model b stun baton at the higher end of modifications. Typical Shock Boxing gloves are used in competition against unarmored opponents but are available for use as personal defense weapons. They are turned on and off by a safety switch on the cuff and all of the wiring is encased in the glove itself. The power pack is inserted inside a pouch inside the cuff of the glove. This housing is safe from accidentally shocking the wearer.

LEGALITY​

egal on most planets, forbidden on pacifistic worlds. Keep out of reach of children.

INTENT​

There is a severe lack of unarmed weaponry that can stand up against blasters and other melee weapons. Shock Boxing Gloves double as a personal defense weapon as well as an integral part for the sport itself. Don't want to carry a stun weapon? Wear Shock Boxing Gloves. Can't buy one of those hilarious hand zappers to prank your friends with? Wear Shock Boxing Gloves. They are multipurpose and will further enrich the universe with alternatives for unarmed fighters other than their bare fists or knuckle dusters.

I made only a few minor tweaks, additions and adaptations to this TL's version since the original writeup was made by @Notorious . Back by personal desire as well as popular demand.

ADVANCED TECH​

No, acquirable from sporting good stores or where self defense items are sold.

This plus Pneumatic Fist equal a bad day for everyone but you.

Put those on a swole boy like my character Burkhart and it's going to be even worse.

 

[AutoFox]

Approved.

With the limiters removed will these be considered to do medium stun damage? I just want the chance for that to be clarified. Sorry I did not do so when I first submitted.

It's described a little weird, but yes, the illegally modified version would do the same damage (and same number of charges) as the stun baton.
