Ballistic shields are specially designed shields used for protection against ballistic threats such as bullets and projectiles. They are commonly used by law enforcement agencies, military units, and security personnel in high-risk situations where there is a potential for armed confrontation. Ballistic shields are typically made of strong, lightweight materials that can withstand the impact and penetration of bullets.
Here are some key features and characteristics of ballistic shields:
-
Construction: Ballistic shields are constructed using materials that provide a high level of protection against ballistic threats. The most common materials used include laminated aramid fibers (such as Kevlar), ballistic ceramics, and reinforced composites.
-
Ballistic Resistance: Ballistic shields are designed to resist different levels of ballistic threats, which are classified based on standards such as the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standard or the European Norm (EN) standard. These standards specify the type of ammunition and the velocity at which the shield should provide protection.
-
Size and Shape: Ballistic shields come in various sizes and shapes depending on their intended use. They can range from small handheld shields to larger, full-body shields. Some models have viewing ports or weapon-mounting capabilities to allow the user to see or fire from behind the shield.
-
Portability: While ballistic shields provide enhanced protection, they are designed to be portable and maneuverable. They often feature handles, straps, or forearm supports to help the user carry and stabilize the shield during use.
-
Additional Features: Some ballistic shields may include additional features to enhance usability, such as lights, communication systems, or attachment points for accessories like lights or cameras.
It's important to note that ballistic shields provide protection from ballistic threats, but they may have limitations against other types of threats like explosions or edged weapons. Therefore, it's crucial for users to undergo proper training and follow safety procedures when utilizing ballistic shields in dangerous situations.

Outstanding
We didn't know of Princip before doing business with them. They sent a sample as requested, we punished it and the shield withstood it all. We were concerned because the shield weighted only a few pounds, very impressed with the quality and constructions we issued the award to Princip and have been incredibly satisfied with production to delivery.
