What is the HP of a pair of medium gauntlets?

Under the damaging objects rules where this information should be listed, it seems to be missing.

Bladed, ranged, and shafted weapons are listed, but gauntlets are different.

Based on https://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment/damaging-objects/ I would estimate that a pair of steel gauntlets would have 10 hardness (+2 per "plus" of enhancement that the gauntlets have).

For HP my estimate would be 10, based on the 10 HP that a light steel shield or a pair of manacles has (both at the same URL). Again, if the gauntlets are magical I would follow the guideline that each "plus" of enhancement provided by the gauntlets provides an additional 10 HP.

    Since gauntlets are generally a weapon and not armor, why are you using armor? – Fering Apr 08 '18 at 22:49

    @Fering Actually, although gauntlets are USED as weapons, they are actually part of two thirds of the available armours - either method would make equal sense. – YogoZuno Apr 09 '18 at 04:06
