A gatling gauntlet was a weapon usually worn by bounty hunters and mercenaries. It consisted of several barrels mounted on a wristband and had the ability to shoot a variety of ammunition types, from small metal projectiles to much larger spikes.
The gatling gauntlet was made popular by the bounty hunter Durge during the Clone Wars, and made a comeback with bounty hunters and mercenaries such as Bar-Kooda and Glott during the Galactic Civil War.
