What is a Riot Shield?

Riot shields are commonly used defense equipment for modern riot police. Its specific structure includes a shielding plate and a supporting plate. Most of the guard plates are convex arc or arc rectangle. The support plate is fixedly connected to the back of the guard plate through a connecting piece, and the support plate is provided with a buckle and a handle. The riot shields used by riot police are generally used to deal with low-level conflicts such as mass riots, and can effectively block the impact and sprint of bricks, stones, sticks, glass bottles and other objects. Anti-riot shields used by special police generally have the functions of bulletproof, shockproof and anti-glare. Although the explosion-proof shield looks transparent and fragile, it is actually very strong, tough and unbreakable, and can withstand the extrusion of small vehicles. It can resist stabs when facing the knife holder; it can resist the short-range shooting of small weapons, and the shock wave and shrapnel of the short-range explosion of the grenade also play a certain role. In advance, the first member of the squad is often armed with a riot shield to provide cover for the members behind. Riot shields are generally made of polycarbonate and refer to a defensive device similar to the medieval shields used by armed police, riot police or riot troops. It’s used to push each other and protect itself during riots. It can withstand attacks from hard objects, blunt weapons and unknown liquids, and can also resist low-velocity bullets, but not explosive fragments and high-velocity bullets. Features: The Array Riot Shield is made of Polycarbonate (PC) sheet. Belongs to engineering plastics. Excellent impact resistance, transparency, using ambient temperature range: -30 degrees to 55 degrees. Chemical resistance can block the impact of general objects such as bricks, stones, sticks, glass knives, etc. Precautions: 1 Do not scratch and polish the shielding surface with sharp tools to reduce the transmittance and smoothness of the shielding and avoid cracks and gaps on the shielding surface. 2. It cannot be placed in a place with high temperature and high humidity for a long time, nor can it be exposed to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It should be placed in a cool, ventilated and dry place to avoid accelerated aging and shortened life. 3 It should be placed upright, and heavy objects cannot be stacked to prevent deformation. When cleaning, use a soft cloth with clean water, do not dry with a hard cloth or detergent, so as to avoid the decrease of light transmittance and impact resistance.
