MS Spring Loaded Punch Kyle Hughes squeezes a trigger inside his chibi mantis shrimp decorated boxing gloves, preparing them for a spring loaded punch far more deadly than their adorable decals would imply.

1
An extraordinary melee weapon.
Used by Kyle Hughes, Created by Metal.
On Signature Item Type MS Boxing Gloves.

The user of these adorably decorated, oversized blue boxing gloves can use them to punch with the speed and power of a bullet, just like the marvelous mantis shrimp they were modeled after. These bone crunching, fast punches seem to be propelled more by the gloves than the user. When the user squeezes the triggers within them, the gloves’ momentum carries them forward with the speed of their brutal punches.

Using an ingenious magic rune engraved ceramic spring system modeled off of the bio ceramic mantis shrimps use for their punches, these gloves propel themselves forward with the speed of bullets. These blows are so powerful they have the ability to dent metal armor.
