I just realized the shield goes in the right hand, not the left LOL.

Eh, it looks better in the left hand.

Should I start over?
for the sake of accuracy, yes, you should start over. you're getting these done pretty quickly anyways, so why not just do it right?

also, it doesn't go in the hand. it's worn on the forearm. btw, a jackal's melee would be pointless, as they are not strong. their lack of strength is the whole reason why they have shields. if i were you, i'd not have melee at all, and possibly no grenades. since they're weak, they wouldn't be able to toss a 'nade too far anyways. also, they just don't throw nades in the game, nor do they melee.
but then are grunts stroger than jackals ? they throw nades and they havent got shield ,but they are way small :roll:

maybe, maybe not. but grunts are irrelevant to the jackal shield, and the characteristics of the jackals. it's also an issue of gameplay ballance. a jackal's melee would still be like a child trying to beat you up. and we know how far little kids could throw something as heavy as a grenade. not far.

so back to what's relevant, a jackal's melee wouldn't hurt. and they're not equiped with p-nades anyways.

so you can stop rolling your eyes like you have something profound to say.

Probably true, but why not just make it so the melee, the Jackal puts out his forearm near the target makes the shield go in then out, sending the target flying with there shield's plasma charge gone, meaning they lose there shield.

i would think that more of an overcharge would drop the enemy shield. that, however, would leave the jackal open to danger.

The jackal hair goes through the shield.

I say don't worry about starting over with it in the other hand. Unless your left handed, most people carry guns in their right hand, it just looks wierd to see your character holding it in their left hand.
