The stun gauntlet, also known as a stun glove or stunning gauntlet, was a type of heavy-duty glove providing insulation, designed to administer an electric shock when the wearer made contact with a target using an unarmed attack. When activated, the interwoven circuitry within the stun gauntlet facilitated the transfer of electricity from the energy cells to the point of impact, causing the weapon to visibly emit electrical energy. Their design ensured that these gauntlets remained securely in place, preventing them from being dropped or forcibly removed.
Palandrix Personal Protection Gear was one of the companies that manufactured stun gauntlets, asserting that they produced a version of the stun gauntlet suitable for nearly every known sentient species.
