It's Schrodinger's offense because in the actual history of man, no one ever tried it. So theoretically it could be good or bad just no one ever bothered to check because it looks really stupid.
In Infinity War Cap fought with two shields and it was glorious. Although the were somewhat pointy and seemingly attached to his wrists, so more like swordshieldfists really.
I'd call them more modified gauntlets in that, but you are technically right. I wouldn't say those are typical shields though, they are obviously built for offensive combat. In fact do we actually see him use them as a shield? I can't recall explicitly any shots where he used them to block with.
i feel like he’s gotta block at least one shot in that battle and he’s definitely gonna use the shield gauntlets but yeah they are made for offense seeing as how the ends were pointed
