Law enforcement and military personnel recently field tested
hand-held ballistic shields that feature a full range of vision and a
contoured design that allows straighter arm positions for shooting.
Marketed in three sizes, the shields are produced by Composiflex of
Erie, Pa. Company officials say their products weigh in at about 17 lbs.
and are fabricated of aramid ballistic materials.
