My ex-team, the GITQ, used to have a very realistic shield. It was left at the Beauharnois CQB field and someone stole it.

Anyway, when used corecly, it's a good tool. But the operator must know how to use it, and the rest of the team must know how to utilise it effectively.

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.
