Nowadays, violent incidents occur from time to time in society, which requires riot law enforcement officers to stop them. In order to protect the lives of anti-riot personnel, they must be equipped with a series of anti-riot equipment, and riot shield is one of them.
Equipping with riot shield to perform anti-riot missions is the most basic requirement for anti-riot personnel. Some people think that the riot shield is purely redundant and hinders the flexibility of physical activity during the security process. actually not. The current riot shield design is more user-friendly, and can be matched with the active parts of the body, which can effectively prevent riot personnel from being killed by gunshots and heavy blows. So riot shield is very necessary. Moreover, the main task of the anti-riot personnel is to stop, rather than actively attack, so the riot shield is a very good defensive equipment.
Here are a few riot shields:
Arm shield: Made of titanium alloy material, the connection between the grip and the shield can withstand a pulling force of 500N. After the armband is closed, the connection between the armband and the shield can withstand a pulling force of 500N. The shield body can withstand the puncture of 147J kinetic energy. It can withstand the impact of the impact testing machine, the linear velocity of the impact point is 18m/s±0.3m/s, and the impact energy is 342J±13J; the back shield fails to be broken or cracks longer than 50mm appear. After the shield body is treated at low temperature (-30℃±2℃) or high temperature (±55±2℃) for 4 hours, the impact resistance within 5 minutes meets the requirements.
PC riot shield (French style): made of polycarbonate material, light weight, wide field of vision, strong anti-impact, fireproof cushion, the product has passed the supervision and inspection of special police equipment of the Ministry of Public Security. There are many combinations, which are very convenient to resist the changing environment.
Metal riot shield (police): The product is made of 2.5mm thick aerospace alloy aluminum, which is light in weight, strong in hardness, and long in life. The rib design further improves the stability and impact resistance. In order to improve the protection level, anti-cutting steel bars are strengthened on the edge of the shield body. The observation window uses a flat double-layer high-strength PC board hollow installation process to enhance the impact resistance and puncture resistance of the observation window. It is fixed with stainless steel bolts, easy to maintain, impact resistant, and not deformed. In order to broaden the field of vision and increase the viewing area, the size of the observation window is designed to be 245mm*105mm, which is better than the industry standard size (200mm*80mm). At the same time, in order to meet the requirements of the overall joint operations of the special police, a quick access baton device was installed on the shield.
French round riot shield: It is made of high-quality transparent polycarbonate PC material, used to push the opponent and protect oneself during the riot suppression process, and can resist the attack of hard objects, blunt objects and unknown liquids.
There are many types of riot shields, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose according to your own use. In general, the advantages of PC riot shields are that they are lighter and have a wide field of vision. The disadvantage is that the use period is shorter and the time is shorter. It will age over a long period of time, so it should be placed in a cool, dry and ventilated place, avoid exposure to sunlight, and keep away from corrosive and chemical substances. The metal riot shield is heavier than the PC material, has low cushioning power and weaker observability. The advantage is a long shelf life. When using this kind of metal shield, it is necessary to wear riot helmets and explosion-proof suits to avoid injury due to weak observation.
