that makes shock gloves very pointless. why have them. 3 stun is not going to KO somebody with a hand shake, so the game mechanics makes the flaver text not possible. use weighted gloves (game effect use brass knuckles table) get better use then shock gloves, or am i missing something?
Add this to an Attack and it could take down a Minion. Their supposed to be useful, not an uberweapon.

How many total uncancelled advantages are you typically generating?

That's 3 strain added on top of whatever the punch does. It's not bad at all.

You realize +3 is what a vibroaxe does, right? Are they pointless? No. Being able to trigger it multiple times would make it the hardest hitting weapon in the game short of ship weapons.
Want shock gloves to able to take someone out with a handshake? If your GM lets you, roll Deception vs. Discipline (Skulduggery vs. Perception or Streetwise vs. Cool may also be appropriate, depending on the circumstances), dealing base strain equal to the your Cunning plus the number of Success results. You can still only activate Stun 3 once, but it's pretty much the same thing as an unarmed attack under different trappings. (No one wants to get hit by shock gloves, of course, so anyone you shook hands with would get to roll Perception vs. Stealth against you before you could make the attempt.)
Other than base strain damage equal to your Cunning, none of this really breaks from the RAW too much IMO.
