*The shield seems to be a dual-wieldable item, as Jackals are never seen holding a weapon in their shield hand, as this would interfere with their shield, aim, and posture (one exception is in a ''Halo 2'' [[glitch]] where the Arbiter could give shield bearing Jackals two-handed weapons). In ''Halo Wars'', they can hold a Covenant Carbine or Beam Rifle, along with the gauntlet, with ease.

*In ''Halo: Reach's'' ViDoc, ''[[Halo: Reach ViDoc: Once More Unto the Breach|Once More unto the Breach]]'', the second flash of sticky notes shows a note that says "Jackal Shield WOW". Most of the notes with 'WOW' on them are about new features, so it has been theorized that the Jackal energy shield gauntlets will finally be available for player use. Also, another sticky note mentions "Jackal [[Wikipedia:Phalanx|Phalanx]]", a defensive formation for groups of Jackals which was first seen in the ''Halo 2'' E3 demo.
