As the name suggests, riot shields are shields used to withstand and defend against riots. Therefore, riot shields can often be seen in areas where turmoil and riots often occur. Police holding riot shields can easily drive back rioters.

The structure is divided into two parts: a shield plate and a supporting plate. Most of the shield plates are outer It has a convex arc shape or a cambered rectangle. The supporting plate is fixedly connected to the back of the shield through a connecting piece. The supporting plate is provided with buckles and handles. The arc design increases the effective protection area and can provide itself with more comprehensive protection. In addition, the transparent shield makes the field of view wider, allowing users to observe the surrounding environment in an all-round way.

From the material point of view, anti-riot shields are usually made of polycarbonate materials, PC materials, fiberglass and other lightweight materials. These materials are all tough materials, resistant to impact, blow, low and high temperatures, and can effectively withstand cold weapons, blunt weapons, etc. Attacks by weapons and unknown liquids. But its material also determines the most powerful weapons it can withstand are low-speed bullets, stray bullets, shrapnel, etc. It cannot be used to protect against explosive fragments and high-velocity bullets. Therefore, anti-riot shields can only be used for daily defense, and are usually used as standard equipment for some riot police and public security forces. Bulletproof shields are usually made of materials with greater performance and strength, such as composite ceramics, high molecular weight polyethylene and other super-strong fibers, and are made using special processes. Their materials determine their good bulletproof properties. Therefore, departments such as the military and security departments that are often threatened by firearms usually choose to use ballistic shields.

To sum up, we can see that riot shields cannot effectively protect against bullets and can only reduce the damage caused by bullets to a certain extent. There are specialties in the arts, so when choosing a shield, you still need to make the most reasonable choice based on the specific situation.
