WHAT IS A RIOT SHIELD USED FOR?

They are often used by law enforcement in conjunction with a baton. Anti riot shields made for law enforcement are typically constructed from transparent polycarbonate to enable the bearer to see incoming thrown objects. The riot shields are shown to be effective in protecting the bearers and preventing protesters from breaking through police lines.

WHAT CAN A RIOT SHIELD WITHSTAND?

Riot shields generally intended to be used in riot control, to protect the user from melee attacks with blunt or edged weapons and also thrown projectiles, or non-lethal weapons such as rubber bullets and water cannons. They can also be used as short-ranged melee weapons to push back the opposing force.

WHAT IS THE DESIGN OF RIOT SHIELD ?

They are typically made out of transparent PC between 4–6.5 mm in thickness. Shields are designed to be shatter resistant, though are typically not ballistic resistant. Some shields used to counter rioters offer a form of ballistic protection against lower velocity ammunition fired from handguns or shotguns. However, ballistic shields are instead used in situations where heavily armed resistance is expected.

Shields are typically either round or rectangular in shape, with lengths between 90 cm-120cm and varying widths. Most riot shields, when utilised properly, will protect the user from the top of the head to the knees. Shields will typically be slightly cylindrical and have handles made out of either metal or reinforced plastic affixed to them with either glue or grommets. Handles will be designed so that the shield-bearer can hold onto them with a fist, and the shield will often feature additional protection at the point where the forearm rests against it, as well as Velcro-strapping to keep the forearm in place.
