New item: "Blaster Glove"

The safety feature is a biometric lock, similar to what we've seen with the Lawgiver in Judge Dredd. It takes a combination of DNA sample and Fingerprint reading which then pairs the armor's gloves with 1 user on the first use. It takes admin level software access to remove the pairing, which then the glove can be paired with another single user.

I feel that having a database stored within the glove is a little too high tech.

Anyway, if anyone other than the person the glove is paired with attempts to use it, the glove locks in the open position, not allowing the hand to be used to pick up anything or fire a weapon.

Just a note: I would call it something other than "blaster glove"... to me, that sounds like a powered melee weapon, that shoots a blaster bolt when you punch something.

"Shooting Glove" is a better name, IMO.

I personally prefer "Blaster Glove" over shooting or shooter's glove because these only work with blasters.

Of course, you can call them "Masturbator's Gloves" if you want... Embarassed

Nah, I'm with MrNexx - a "blaster glove" would to me be a glove that is a blaster. Either actually shooting - like the Sedgley Glove Gun, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hkmc0o8uVk - or something similar to the punchy injectors used by Blade in Blade II, http://www.propstore.com/product/blade-2/wesley-snipes-injector-gauntlet/home.htm , something that triggers a short-range blast when a punch lands. Other stuff that's similar, would be Diamondback's powered gloves (from the Luke Cage tv show), or even like a bang stick mounted on a glove, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerhead .

Also, if you wanted to make a powered version of the glove, you might make a full sleeve (similar to the Japanese armored sleeves, kote) that uses external manipulation (i.e. electric microshocks) of the muscles in your arms to both reduce tremors and to re-align the hand and arm faster after triggering a shot. A poor man's exoskeleton, in a sense.

So something like Sorosuub Enhanced Trigger Gloves, or Enhanced Marksman's Gloves or something like that.

^ Nice

I'm still hanging with "blaster glove" for now since it's what makes the most sense to me.

Could always call them "stabilizer gloves" or "blaster shooter's glove" or even "gun gauntlets"!

I have also thought of "Blasting Gloves" too. Think on it for a second, it makes good sense.

If you look in the OP, it says "Blaster Stabilizing Gloves" in the Model section.

"Blasting" is usually used in conjunction with demolitions, i.e. some form of explosives work. So "blasting gloves" would be gloves used while working with explosives.

Either something to help shape charges - I'm thinking something that might help with the moldability of plastic explosives, such as oh I don't know ultrasonic emitters - or something like a remotely controlled pair of droid hands and the corresponding waldoes and maybe a highres trideo camera to make working on explosives safer (and less likely to cost you the use of your hands in case of a mishap).

I added a poll to the original post about what to call them. If you guys want to see other options on the list, just let me know. Let's give it a good two weeks before calling it, since forum traffic is notoriously low for stuff like this.
