SPECIAL FEATURES
Deflector shield: The gauntlet produces a (size altering) deflector shield which was semi-inspired by similar designs like the Gungan Personal energy shield. Meant for working against both physical and energy based weaponry. The deflector shield can reflect blaster fire, lightsabers, and kinetic attacks, making it a good multi-purpose weapon. The shield size can be altered somewhat, from seven feet top to bottom, to just 3 feet. This is done by the change of projectors direction and energy use.
Gauntlet sized: The shield generator is the size of a gauntlet held around on arm, making it very light and easy to carry.
Reinforced Duraplast construction: In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the gauntlet itself is made of reinforced duraplast. This means it has a very high durability to other weaponry, and could be used effectively, with the appropriate reaction times, even if the energy reserves ran out. So it retains its very high resistance to damage. So it retains its resistance even when out.
Battery pack: The deflector shield has a battery that can last around 2 hours if it isn’t hit, the more and more powerful attacks that hit it however, the faster it goes down. These battery packs are easy to replace by a slot on the inside of the arm. Exchanging them quickly to recharge.
Environmentally safe: The gauntlet can be taken to any condition and remain functional, including underwater, as it is important to have a tool that can be used anywhere. It was sealed water and dust tight and its good durability helps ensure it doesn’t obtain too many dents or cuts.
EMP resistant: While it won't protect the user much from EMP's, the shield itself is set up so that one couldn't take it out. A powerful shock directly to the gauntlet might cause interior damage, but most other EMP's to the weapon would not be sufficient.
Lightweight
Duraplast construction and energy shield have Excellent resistance to blasters, lightsabers, and sonic blasters
Changeable size
Easily replaced rechargeable batteries
Can be used in most environments
EMP ressistant.
Weaknesses:
User can still feel impact of most physical weapons, just lessened
Sonic explosions and other things that move around walls or shields can still be effective on user. Due to its size, sonic blasters still get pushed off. But sonic cannons would be very dangerous.
Battery does have a limit, constant war can be problematic
Lack of weight means it cannot be used offensively as well.
Really high powered weapons like rocket launches can often still cause damage, usually breaking the arm of the user and the concussive force sometimes being enough to kill them anyway. It also may reduce the life of the deflector shield by a far faster rate if not endangering its integrity
The Personal Combat Deflector Shield is a convenient infantry or common use tool. It is especially good for body guards who need to be able to stand up to short term fire, but need to remain mobile. They work well when there is a need for fair priced shields that have a good range of applicability but are primarily defensive based. The shield is a duraplast gauntlet which produces a multipurpose deflector shield ranging from 7 ft tall to 3 ft tall. It was somewhat inspired by the Gungan personal Energy shield in regards to its size and uses. But Tasha wanted to have a more modern version that could be carried on person easily. Unlike the altered full body bubble shields, these versions allow a greater amount of control on deflection, and making it possible to use it in melee combat.
