That Russian spacesuit guy who designed a glove for NASA that didn't get accepted, IIRC he was proposing an actual mechanical counterpressure glove, the first of its kind. Not that hyped shit spacesuit that doesn't exist and is impossible to get into. (which is the main problem of those suits so far)

>Most have anti-micro meteor protection.
It's meteoroid. MMOD protection is designed to withstand MMOD strikes at hypervelocities (several km/s), not bullet hits. Bullets are much slower (hundreds m/s) and heavier than a typical spacecraft protection, so it's useless against them. ISS modules were tested against 6.7km/s and 2km/s collisions, and the 2km/s ones always penetrated the protection with a smaller piece because it's optimized for hypervelocity.
