Knuckle plate vibro blade



The knuckle plate vibro blade, or vibroknuckler, was a retractable weapon inside a clone commando's armor glove that could be ejected from the gauntlet to be used in melee combat. The weapon was extremely lethal at close range. They were also used by mercenaries and smugglers as a minor defense against police or other enemies. An example of a set of users was Jabba the Hutt's guards, and skiff drivers, because they could not afford any other type of weaponry. It was often used against B-1 battle droids, Geonosians, and Trandoshan slavers. This weapon was a Clone Commando's only form of melee defense and was not large enough to be used against a lightsaber or a full-sized vibrosword.

Behind the scenes
