Description
A curved sheet of reinforced plasteel covers most of the bearer while a narrow upper viewport preserves forward vision. Arm straps allow the shield to be carried with a compact weapon and locked beside other shields to protect a team. The barrier resists shrapnel, fragments, and light blaster-rifle fire during advances and crowd-control operations.
