Cops with Pip Boys. You can't entrust such technology to some guy that barely passed high school and joined the force because he had no other options in life.
Electric Fists Are The Future Of Law Enforcement

those would be good for pranking friends, although you'd probably go to jailGrouchy Imp said:
OT: This is all fine and dandy and new and yay, but what happens when the criminals get them? rubber fists to block the electric fists? where does it stop?
First of all there's a pin to pull and a button to press before anything happens, it's not not like you can permanently run that much power through something. In addition, if you look at how the glove is built (images from the original source might be better), you can see two little antenna-like peaks. They look a bit like the ends of a taser, so I assume electricity will only run through there.Sougo said:
For your second post, the situation wouldn't change if you exchanged the glove with your average taser, in fact I think the glove would draw less attention. So in that situation, it wouldn't matter if you went with your old technology or the new one. The reason for why they put it in a gauntlet is because you can't just drop or lose it in certain situations.
It's a situational device I don't think is worth its money compared to tasers, but I guess it's nice for powerglove dreamers. The periphery technology that's been put into it is much more interesting IMO.
So what, normal guns and tasers are any different?Vault boy Eddie said:
I'm so between "Yeah, Power Fists are real!" and "weapon inventions suck", though this is more a defensive device than firearms, there already is something like a taser "no contact" jacket and because there are no feral ghouls and deathclaws around to punsh (yet), it will most likely come in handy in situations like this:

ABSOLUTE POWAAAAAAAAH!
OT: Basically, it's an upgraded Blast Knuckle.
I built something like that for my last year project in electronics, based on a heavy duty rubber glove. I was also trying to fix the problem of dropping your defensive weapon. Granted, I placed the prods on the palm, didn't have an arm-guard or safety and to be allowed to make it, I had to make it as weak as possible while still able to illustrate the principle and take it apart afterwards.
Got me an A. IT was a bit fragile though, as all the wires were exposed, and the prods were sharp enough to pierce the glowes on the fingers. That, and the fact that you turned it on with a switch mounted by the base of the indexfinger as to be easily reached with your thumb made it a tad unsafe.

Its more like a repuler glove lolAeshi said:
I could see this not ending so well if a criminal gets his hands on one
Cops will shoot armed aggressors, the tasers are a great non-lethal option, but arent often brought out in a firefight.shitoutonme said:
More useful than the taser you have in a holster under your jacket that needs to be pulled out, but of course the melee bit does kind of dampen the awesome-ness.thaluikhain said:
Also,
It's funny how some people complain about tasers...well I'm pretty sure I'd rather be tasered then shot, bludgeoned with a club, peppersprayed, or GOD FORGIVE...Hit with this thing: "...device arcs a bright blue burst of a half-million volts...". HALF A MILLION!? JEEEEEEZ! I wouldn't want to even get shocked by several hundred, let alone HALF A MILLION!
One step closer two the furute tv and movies have been telling us will be here in 200 years.
So far we have a pain ray, emp, holograms, forcefields, and tazer gloves.
Just light sabers, blasters and space travel and we're 10 times more advanced than halo tells us we will be in 550 years.

Aw hells yeah! StunKnucks! We're another step closer to our cyberpunk dystopia!
...wait a sec...

Looks like he:

Is taking the law into his own hands.
Can we expect Robocops soon? Wonder just how strong he could be with those.
