Ballistic shields, also known as ballistic-resistant shields or bulletproof shields, are protective devices designed to shield individuals or groups from projectiles such as bullets or other ballistic threats. They are commonly used by law enforcement officers, military personnel, and security teams in various tactical situations.
Ballistic shields are typically made from materials that can withstand high-velocity impacts, such as steel, aramid fibers (e.g., Kevlar), or composite materials. The shields are constructed to provide a combination of strength, durability, and lightweight design to ensure ease of use and maneuverability in the field.
These shields vary in size, shape, and level of protection. Some shields are designed to be handheld and used by a single individual, while others are larger and may be mounted on vehicles or used by multiple individuals simultaneously.
The primary purpose of ballistic shields is to provide protection against firearms and other ballistic threats. They are designed to absorb and distribute the force of impact from bullets, reducing the likelihood of injury or penetration. The shields often have a transparent window or viewport to allow users to observe and engage threats while remaining protected.
While ballistic shields offer significant protection, it's important to note that no shield can provide absolute invulnerability. The effectiveness of a shield depends on various factors, including the type of threat, the caliber and velocity of the projectiles, and the shield's design and materials. Additionally, shields may be limited in their ability to protect against high-powered or armor-piercing rounds.
It's worth mentioning that ballistic shields are just one component of a comprehensive tactical response and personal protective equipment (PPE) strategy. They are typically used in conjunction with other protective gear, such as helmets, body armor, and additional tactical equipment, to ensure the safety of personnel in high-risk situations.

5 Star Review
These shields are much more impressive in person. It took about a month to receive our order which was faster than some other options. They are a touch lighter than the 15 pounds. Overall very impressed.
