Gauntlets

The Gauntlets are dual-wield melee primary weapons in Gun Raiders.
==Appearance==
The Gauntlets appear as two large steel gloves, and have blocky fingers. The fingers can retract into a fist. The default skin is grey with pearlescent highlights.
==Functionality==
The Gauntlets are dual-wield melee weapons that can retract into a fist. The Slap mode, when the trigger is not being held down, deals less damage than the Punch mode, which can be activated by holding the trigger down.
The defining feature of the Gauntlets is the ability to block bullets and projectiles from almost all weapons in the game. When the Gauntlets are being shot, any bullets from the Rifle, SMG, Dual Pistols, Dual Uzis, Minigun, and Revolver are completely blocked and deal no damage. The Grenade Launcher grenades can also be deflected but it is much harder as it does not destroy the projectile, it only bounces it away. The Sniper Rifle bullets pass through the Gauntlets, but deal half damage. The Gauntlets can also block the Katana and Knife, although this is relatively ineffective. This makes the Gauntlets most effective as a Defensive tool, to close in on your opponents. While both gauntlets are in primary mode the user takes 50% reduced damage from explosives, and 80% reduced damage from gas grenades.
If the player can land three punches in a row with the Gauntlets, the Gauntlets will deal 3x damage on the 3rd punch. This makes it extremely effective against Overshielded players. It should be noted that the maximum damage per swing is 200, meaning that even if your third hit is a headshot, it will still only deal 200 damage, not 450.
===Alternate Modes===
Each of the two Gauntlets can be made smaller on-demand. This decreases their damage and bullet-blocking capability, but allows the user to perform a high-mobility “fling” movement. The user spawns with 2 flings (one on each hand) and gains two on each hand for each kill.
===Notes===
*It should be noted that the maximum damage per swing is 200, meaning that even if your third hit is a headshot, it will still only deal 200 damage, not 450.
*Gauntlets are not compatible with a secondary weapon, such as the Revolver or Crossbow.
*The maximum number of fling charges is 8 per hand, with the exception of the Battle Royale mode, which allows 10 fling charges per hand.
==Trivia==
*The Katana, the Riot Shield, and the Gauntlets are the only weapons in the game that can block bullets. 
**Coincidentally, they are also the only primary melee weapons in the game.
*When the alt mode was first added, there was a bug that allowed the user to recharge its charges in mid air by switching to another weapon and switching back. This caused the ensuing weeks to be filled with players abusing the bug, until the bug was eventually patched.
