What level of protection?
Rifle-rated protection without compromising the mission.
Guardian Breaching Shields are built around rifle-rated ballistic protection and mission-specific configurations for law enforcement, tactical teams and school-safety response.
Built for agency purchasing
Because every agency has different coverage, viewport, weight, marking and training requirements, shield systems are provided by formal quote rather than online checkout.
Shield Retrofit
Turn your existing shield into a breaching shield.
If you are not in the market for a new ballistic shield, we may be able to retrofit a compatible flat shield using its existing forearm-strap mounting holes.
BeforeAfterNo new holes are drilled into the ballistic shield. The detachable system uses existing forearm-strap mounting points. Compatibility review is required, and training can be arranged.
