Weight is dependant on the expected threat level that the shield is suppose to stop, the original post talks about only a Level IIIa (basically all handgun rounds), where as mil guys would want at least a level III that is also tested to M193 and M855 5.56 rounds; this quickly gets heavy. Weight is also dependant on size.
So, I agree, you should have a minimum weight for a shield to actually be considered 'realistic', I also agree that you should not be just using a clear riot shield (unless you're playing in a zombie game, as hosted in Alberta a few times).
