Ballistic shield

Ballistic shield (tactical shield) is a protective device deployed by police and military forces to prevent or deflect bullets and projectiles fired by them. Bulletproof shields can also prevent less serious threats, such as thrown items, although bulletproof shields are usually used in situations where riot shields cannot provide adequate protection.

The bulletproof cover can be made of materials such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, polycarbonate or fiber. They may provide clearer armored viewing ports, dexterous handles and spotlights, etc., can be used at night, and can be handheld or mounted on a frame. They vary in size, some are only used to protect the upper body, and some are used to protect the entire body. Unlike bulletproof vests, projectiles that are successfully blocked by a bulletproof shield will not transmit injury or pain to the bearer because they are designed to not directly contact the body. Therefore, portability is also very important (light weight and good protection), and the bulletproof mask is mainly based on the original bulletproof helmet with a transparent and visible protective mask, as shown in the following figure

A sufficiently small shield can be carried by one person or as standard equipment in a police car. Whether to use a protective cover depends on the policy and personal circumstances. Police policy may be to use shields only in defensive situations. In addition to the shield, there is also a mask. In order to improve mobility and rapid combat capabilities, the ballistic mask is safer on the headband equipment, and it also tests the physical strength of the wearer. Because the mask is heavier and longer to wear.

Ballistic mask shown in the above figure can be matched with more types of bulletproof helmets during the application process, so the role of the mask is to more effectively improve the line of sight ability, and it is more convenient to replace after damage during the application process, without the need The overall replacement and the matching of the helmet make the bulletproof mask suitable for more occasions
