SACair Forum

Hey,

a lot of fields use the rule, anyting that you are carying/wearing is considered a hit. im not sure of the sacair rule on this, but it be fun to try if we ran some smaller games out at the cqb field

I can defenatly see it being used in Attack-Defence games, where the attacking force is beganing to do some entery into the Bigger buiding...

something sturdy. dont want anyone to fall and get hurt

we have carried chit we foud and the yuba cqb and my bro and I went to make one with a plexi glass window and a gun slit with a rubber flap that closes when you arent firing but its a lot of work. do it

m203 should take shields out...... if we played with them

Heh, of coarse anything useign a freakin 7.62 or more round would defeat a shield, but I'm thinking of something for close quraters...Of coarse, the one holding the shield, would be useing a pistol, and pistol only.

wood? thats gonna be pretty heavy. daves idea of the plexi glass is much better

Should be lighter than the real version which is usually a thin shield plate with kevlar coating in layers with a ballastic glass window. I believe that those who use it hold it with BOTH hands and it's is more or less dragged around. You can only shoot with it when you have "Deployed" the shield to free up your right hand. By deploy I mean get into a slightly croached position to where your shield touches the ground and balance it with one arm and your body weight. The other riot shield version is made up of ballistic glass entirely and is used to aid against rocks and minor thrown objects and probably couldn't stop anything stronger than a 9x19 round.

no i didnt make it becuase the weight and its only good for like one life really.

if i were you, make it out of plexiglass or very thin wood(particle board probably, but if its particle board, dont get it too thin(the bb's will probably go through)) and also make a little window...then under the window make it so you dont have to hole it with your hand, but make almost like a glove for your whole arm to go through...like get a old wetsuit or something, nail gun it to one side of the wet suit sleeve, and leave it open, so you can put your arm through...i say this because with just a hand holding it, it will be hard to aim, carry, etc with one hand...hope this makes sense...i was actually going to try and go to home depot and get some thin wood or plexiglass(if they have any), some foam to go around it(get the insulation for the outside of water pipes) and put that around the edges...then cut out the middle(about a half foot by half foot, and make a window...OR, if its plexiglass, keep it the way it is)...ill try to do this by the next az, cqb game i go to, ill bring it out and try it.

actually i do have a SWAT riot sheild i picked up at an army navy store. u can pick one up for around $60, and its extremely light and had a cary handle. I had it for paintball i used to ref. games with my friends and it shure beats gettin hit those things sting at close range, not to mention half dollar size welts.

and uh by had a handle i mean it broke off...heh long painful story that had somethin to do with fallin on a rock. :shock:

asked my dad ( SWAT commander for Sunnyvale PD) if I can look at one, he said they're locked up, but said check the net. Partical baord is what I plan...if you have plexiglass, give me a small piece ( or more, for multiable shields ) and such, the only hard part will be the arm part to hold it...

same here, ill check some surplus stores around here...maybe go ot one at half moon bay(25 miles or so south of SF.)

The hand systems I had seen to hold these shields from pics have been just the reinforced system used in old fashioned kite shields. Two straps, you slide your arm through the first and the second is then gripped by your hand. The first strap should stop near around the elbow joint and you can add secondary secure straps down the line to tip to the arm to make sure it doesn't move too much and to keep it even more secure.
