The Jackal Point Defense Gauntlet is completely resistant to the UNSC's metallic projectile ammunition. Most UNSC weaponry will simply bounce off the shields. Even the [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Antimatériel|SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle]]'s large 14.5mm APFSDS rounds are deflected (except when fired at the central shield emitter or the right and left handed notches in ''[[Halo 2]]''). | The Jackal Point Defense Gauntlet is completely resistant to the UNSC's metallic projectile ammunition.

However continuous fire from certain weapons will cause the Jackal to momentarily drop its shield. The [[Warthog]]'s [[M41 LAAG]], [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]] (and curiously [[MA5B]] and [[SMG]] in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''2'') rounds will cause the Jackal to flinch allowing the rest of the weapon's bullets to eliminate the Jackal. This may be due to the physical weakness of the Jackal as the bullets themselves are deflected. Only the Gauss Cannon bullet is not deflected by the Jackal's shield. | However continuous fire from certain weapons will cause the Jackal to momentarily drop its shield.

The few Human weapons that can penetrate the shield are explosive weapons such as the [[Rocket Launcher]], [[Missile Pod]], [[Spartan Laser]], [[Gauss Cannon]] and normal Warthog [[turret]]. | The few Human weapons that can penetrate the shield are explosive weapons such as the [[Rocket Launcher]], [[Missile Pod]], [[Spartan Laser]], [[Gauss Cannon]] and normal Warthog [[turret]]. | ||
