This would allow for limited use of the shield, and prevent bunkering.
Your thoughts?

i REALLY like that idea. that way snipers can have that extra little edge over standard troops with an anti-material purpose. also, it prevents the shield user's from running too close to people in fear of getting shot through the sheild. that, and the fact that they only have a pistol, really limits their combat effectiveness, thus balancing the game.
EDIT:
forgot to add, it should only be consumable up to a point. in that the frame and plexi-glass window should be made tough, but the actual sheild part should be consumable and be able to be replaced after each use . i.e.: the door frame is made to last, but the door (in this case the actual part that stops the bbs) is made to be consumable.
