A shield gauntlet was a small personal shield worn on the off-hand which could be used to absorb and even deflect energy weapons and shots. The gauntlet accomplished this by projecting a small energy shield, similar in function to that of a Gungan personal energy shield. The shield's diameter was less than a meter and typically took on the appearance of a convex energy disc which was usually either tinted blue or transparent.
With the proper training, shield gauntlets could be used to deflect blaster fire. It was also possible to redirect the deflected bolts to strike other targets.
