S.W.A.T. Shield....

This is what happens when two people have $5+can of spray paint+cardboard+spring vacation+duct tape+boredom= well see for yourself.









and finnaly

Why not just use plywood? anything better than a $40 springer shotgun could go through that

Becuase this was stuff just laying around and we had nothing to do. And the shotgun and pistol don't even work we just had them for the picture seeming as how it is meant to be SWAT.

pretty sweet. You should upgrade it or just get a real one for the "Watch your language" of it.

My gun would tear right thourgh that, just some words of thought.

All of my guns would tear it to shreds.

SWAT Shields in airsoft = MAJOR FAIL-TROC-TAC-MAN-JAR-U

me and DJ made a pro shield.. ill post pics later

Actually, I think this adds an element of realism. A real life swat shield would be able to withstand infinite Airsoft shots without going down, whereas it cannot stand against more than a couple of real rounds. A cardboard shield will add realism in that it can only handle so many shots before BBs start going through it.

acually they're made to withstand rounds from a gun because if they didn't then they wouldn't use them

This was more of a pracitcle joke than the real thing. I don''t think i'll ever use except maybe to give it to team Freshman and light them up. Other than that i'll never use it.

Actual swat sheilds are coated in Kevlar armor. They are impervious to small arms fire period. You need a M203, or RPG if you were to go against it in real life.

Soooooo your saying if I shoot 100 rounds of 5.56mm ammo at you holding a SWAT sheild you'll be fine? I don''t belive that yes small arms fire no shotguns or assault rifles.

"Naked" ballistic shields are for use against small projectiles (bottles, rocks, tear gas canisters...etc)

Ballistic shields with kevlar wrap used by are certified for use against small caliber and shotgun rounds.

There are ballistic "mats" that can be inplemented to withstand short range blasts from door breech charges.

There are ALSO different shields in the works that will withstand small blasts AND high powered rifle rounds, but none that have been fielded by law enforcement.

Actually, a shotgun is one of the easiest stopped. There are multiple projectiles in a shotgun blast, so energy is spread out in a wide area.

what about a 1 ounce deer slug?

even my cheap sniper could at a 50 ft range

Yes I do believe slugs and combat loads would do considerable damage, but not pierce.
Kevlar, but nature, would absorb larger, slow velocity rounds. Unless it was a steel core or jacketed shot, it would likely not piere the shield.

we are talking about cardboard right?

No, real-steel combat ballistic shields. Ones used by law enforcement. Sorry, off topic. Someone brought it up.

ah, yeah I agree with that then...... woops didn't see that

Small arms are pistols, rifles, assault weapons, etc. Anything less than a grenade

You have to realise that While it's bullet resistant it's not bullet PROOF nothing is had that's that.
Jeeze you could come over and test it if you wanted

thats crazy, but do some cosmetic work, like make the swat better and repaint.

and some kevlar...... yeah, paint it a bit better

No im not going to work to hard on this because I don''t think i'll ever use it enough to have to make it look nice. Not to mention its going to be full of BBs if I use it this memorial day. Which I will have some videos of so i'll post that when I get done editing the video.

great can't wait to see!
oh yeah huh, memorial day this monday.
