[Ansteorra-rapier] gauntlets and rapier

[Northern Cadet]

I also believe that mail gauntlets are proof against cuts only.  Meaning, a
thrust would penetrate the mail a cause wounds to the hand.

So the hand with the guantlet can still be used for blade grabbing?  Just
wanting to make sure.

Both Robert and Brian are correct about the gauntlets.

Don Aeron added mail gauntlets in the April 2006 edition of the Ansteorran
Rapier Rules as a new secondary. This is not restricted to "armor as worn"
tournaments. However, as with all weapons and secondaries, you and your
opponent must agree that those weapons are acceptable.

There are a few points of note concerning mail gauntlets:



*	Basically, it must be a REAL metal/chain gauntlet and only the areas
covered with metal are proof against hits. 

*	The gauntlet does NOT protect the hand from being damaged if the
hand is grasping a blade and that blade moves or twists in the hand.


*	The gauntlet is a secondary, not a gloved hand, and thus is NOT
approved for use against the other fighter's person (no "fleeting contact").
