A lot of shield operators tend to squat down with the shield, trying to protect their legs from being shot, defeiting the purpose of the shield, witch is allowing the team to breach with some cover.

Anyway, ours was the medium size shield that, when raised, would cover the upper leg, torso and head. We had a viewport made of resistent plexiglass, that ended up shatering under the exessive abuse.

The shield was made of wood and covered with metal. The whole thing was riveted together and painted black. Very impressive work.

But I agree, shield should only be used when they are realistic and with a team, not as a personnal bunker, impervious to everyting.

Someone stole the shield?... Damn that thing was so fun! It wasn't shoe proof though It was heavy also, mimicking the real one, you deff couldn't ninja people when using that thing.
