| A '''Point Defense Gauntlet''' is a protection orientated device carried by the [[Sangheili]] of the [[Covenant]] and later, the [[Covenant Separatists|Separatists]] <ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel|Halo:]] [[The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor|Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]'', page 52</ref>.

| ==Operational Use==
| |
| While the Point Defense Gauntlet has never been encountered by [[UNSC]] forces, it was used by [[Special Operations Commander|Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] during the destruction of the ''[[Infinite Succor]]''. Instead of the triple-layered shield that at least one [[Sangheili]] has seen with, this was a diamond-shaped shield with only one layer.
| |
| | |
| These shields are very similar to the [[Jackal Point Defense Gauntlet|Kig-yar Point Defense Gauntlet]], except the [[Kig-Yar]] Point Defense Gauntlets produce round and deep shields while the [[Sangheili]] version is flat and less practical in a battle.
| |
| | |
| This shield is singularly comparable to the [[Elite Personal Energy Shield|Sangheili Personal Energy Shield]].
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *This item was going to be used in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' by [[Sangheili]] soldiers, though was replaced by the Personal Energy Shields and was given to [[Jackal]]s instead.
| |
| *The only [[UNSC]] encounter with it is in the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' E3 2000 Trailer.
| |
| *This Shield is very similar to the [[Kig-Yar|Kig-Yar's]] [[Jackal Point Defense Gauntlet|Point Defense Gauntlet]].
| |
| *It may be possible that the [[Kig-Yar|Kig-Yar's]] [[Jackal Point Defense Gauntlet|defense gauntlets]] may be improved versions of the [[Sangheili]] Point Defense Gauntlet.
| |
| *Hunters sport a hardened alloy version of this.
| |
| *It is possible that the humans destroyed all of these items like how the covenant destroyed all of the M6D Personal Defense weapon system.
