[Source] The stun gauntlet, stun glove or stunning gauntlet was an insulated heavy-duty glove that delivered an electric shock upon striking a target with an unarmed attack. Due to circuitry interwoven throughout the stun gauntlet, electricity was transferred from the energy cells to the impact point, and caused the weapon to glow with electrical energy when activated. Because of the way they were worn, these gauntlets could not be disarmed or dropped.
