Blast Knuckles were a weapon commonly rigged together by Outlaw Techs in the Imperial Era. They consisted of a heavy, armored glove with a blaster built into the back of wearer's hand. Whenever the wearer punched a foe pressure sensitive plating on the knuckles would be triggered, firing the blaster at point-blank range to devastating effect. Use of these could be very taxing, not to mention the danger of having a blaster fired mere centimeters from the wearer's fingers.
