Electro/Tesla Gauntlet ?
« on: Sep 27, 2016, 02:33 PM »
This is a thought had been in my head for a while.  :D
Would a Mando be able to have a electro/tesla type of gauntlet/glove? Something that had an energy pack attached to the main gauntlet and had wires or discharge packs on the hand area. Could be used to disarm opponents and or used to help capture bounties, could subdue someone that got to close, charge a knife with electricity, the list goes on.

Something along the lines of this but more Swarzy of course and modified.





Would like some thoughts and feedback before I go and start making something like this and end up not being able to use it for my kit.

I don't see why not.   

Not all Mandos capture their quarry with a blaster bolt.  Shock gaunts would come in handy for moving merchandise (both organic and droid) in a somewhat more intact state.   ;)

You could get very creative with some EL wire and my only recommendation would be to make them less pokey than what you've got posted.



Try checking out the X-21 shock gauntlet for a base of where to take your aesthetics.

Sorry for the necro, but I'm looking now at doing something similar to Je'karta's gauntlet you posted.. does he have a build thread for it? It's stunning!

I spoke to Je'karta.  He is checking now to see if he can locate some WIP info for you guys.  When he hits me back, I'll update the thread. Standby.  :)

I spoke to Je'karta again and he couldn't locate the original WIP.  But he did send me some good close up pics. They should help. He said it was made using 3mm and 6mm sintra, and a plasma disk for the gauntlet. He gave me permission to post them here.  :)
