#REDIRECT [[Kig-yar point defense gauntlet]]
[[Jackals]] use personal energy shields for protection from enemy fire. Worn on the forearm, they create a barrier that can deflect any solid projectile weapon except rockets, and [[Grenade|grenades]]. It should be noted that grenades, even though deflected by the shield, can still explode and collapse the shield if detonated nearby.
 
Energy-based weapons can penetrate the shield and can even collapse the shield altogether. The [[MJOLNIR]] armor's shield was devised by reverse-engineering the Jackal shields, it was later improved upon it to make it much more effiecient.
 
In [[Halo 2]], the shield appears to have been weakened. It is now possible to bring down a shield with projectile weaponry.
