Various types of gauntlets appear as weapons in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Van Buren.

[edit] Background
A gauntlet is usually a piece of armor used to protect the wearer's wrists in combat, but some gauntlets have been fashioned instead to inflict injury rather than defend against it.
[edit] Variants
[edit] Bladed gauntlet
The bladed gauntlet is a small cuff with three pieces of large shrapnel fastened to it. When the wearer attacks, the blades savagely slash open skin and rake through soft tissue.

[edit] Deathclaw gauntlet
Fashioned from the hand of a deathclaw, this gauntlet is as frightening as one. The razor sharp claws are able to totally negate any protection the enemy is wearing and slice to the bone.
[edit] Fist of (the North) Rawr
A deathclaw gantlet that was forged with the hand of the legendary deathclaw, Rawr.
[edit] Mantis gauntlet
Mantis gauntlets are the claw of a giant mantis that has been fixed to a cuff. The gauntlet is remarkably sharp and often used by White Legs bone-breakers due to the abundance of mantises in Zion and the mantis claws' durability.
[edit] Embrace of the Mantis King!
Embrace of the Mantis King! is a large mantis gauntlet forged presumably from the mantis "king". It is much more thorny and cumbersome than a regular mantis gauntlet.
[edit] Yao guai gauntlet
This gauntlet is constructed the paw of a yao guai. The massive bear paw can not only cut deep wounds but bruise or even break bones because of its burdensome size.
[edit] She's Embrace
She's Embrace is a yao gaui gauntlet made from the paw of the mythical yao guai, Ghost of She.
[edit] Electro-gauntlet
