I think you are looking for a ballistic shield (bullet resistant) that is clear (nonexistent).
Gun control is not Crime control.

BUT DOES NE ONE KNOW IF I CAN USE ONE???
May 18, 2007 4:13am
you probably will be able to but youll have to abide by special rules most likely

No it could be considered blind fire, and would create an unfair advantage.

noob question time

I personally like the idea, and if I was running a game I would let you use it. What you need to do is at any game you wish to use it check with the admin running the game to see if they'll allow it (if it's a Sacair game).

idk, probably would be aup to the admins,
May 18, 2007 4:16am
I can't give you a yes or no on that one, since I'm not an admin or mod or any sort of SacAir official.

yeah i mean we all HAVE the option to, we just chose not to, so pretty much you alreaaady got approval from one of the admins.. so yeah go for it :twisted: make a indent you you can poke your MP5 Out of it though

Would a ballistic shield defeat a 5.56 round? or 7.62x39 or a 7.62x54? No it would not. pistols yes. Rifles no. Not to mention you would not be presenting a target as you fired.

Johny's got a point on both issues (blind fire and what round would stop it)

you you should definantly go with an all black suit with a Kevlar Black helment and a big ol swat vest Youll be the only swat style dude out there, not to mention a tank
May 18, 2007 4:22am
i dont know what blind fire is
May 18, 2007 4:23am
blind fire.. poke your gun out and shoot hopeing you hit something while not exposing your body..
May 18, 2007 4:26am
Well by that blind fire definition

Blind fire: shooting from behind an object blindly, I.E not aiming, like sticking a pistol in a window and shooting it blindly. Every time I have seen some one use some thing as a ballistic shield it happens. I have seen guys at the CQB field pick up plywood and move against the large building all you can see is a pistol coming out and shooting. Not to mention the fact that the guys "shield" is absorbing 200-300 rounds of aimed RIFLE fire. Not very realistic.

And how would you do that? if you stick your head out to aim, your going to take a ton off bbs to the face.

You're missing the point kid. Now if you want to use the shield and poke your gun AND your head off to the side when you shoot, thats a different story.

Ask an admin at a game. If not, leave it in the car. Simple as that.

not to mention being flanked while you're trying to look forward while holding a big ass shield. I'm sure it sounds like a great idea, but you have enough stuff to carry while playing, don't need an oversized piece of plastic, just learn to take cover.
My best advice for new airsoft players:
