Ballistic Shield Use

Been trying to find some videos on ballistic shield use that is public domain.


I've found this, from the manufacturer. It's not the best, but it's all I can find.

If anyone has good videos, please post them. One of the things about the BAT shield is it's curve/flexiblity, doesn't behave like more ridgid/traditional shields.

However, it is good for showing, when in two man teams, that the shield operator is -just- the shield operator. Too often you'll see a Shield Operator (SO) drop the shield as they attempt to engage the target. This comprimises the SO's defensive ability. (But, on the other hand, sometimes shit happens or you're the only one there, so train both ways).
