Embodiment Construction

[0034] Illustrated in FIGS. 1-8 is a sniper shield or portable ballistic shield 10 that provides and functions as a mobile bullet resistant shooting platform for civilian and military personnel 12 such as the snipers and observers that form part of the civilian and military police SWAT teams. The shield 10 can also be used as a mobile protective shield for protecting and covering the civilian and military personnel on approaching the target (the suspect) or withdrawing from the target. The portable ballistic shield 10 of the present invention enhances the gathering of accurate, up-to-date information and intelligence, and assists in closing the distance to the target that leads to more certainty in the identification of the target and greater accuracy of the shot if it has to be taken.

[0035] Thus, as shown in FIG. 1-5, the portable ballistic shield 10 includes a generally rectangular-shaped planar member 14 composed of a bullet resistant material such as, for example, a combination...

Abstract

A portable ballistic shield for use by civilian and military SWAT teams that provides both mobile and stationary cover, protection and a shooting platform for sniper and observer teams deployed behind the shield includes a rectangular-shaped planar member having a front surface that can include camouflage patterns, a rear surface and a lower edge having a rubber strip attached thereto for stabilizing the ballistic shield when disposed on the supporting surface. A centrally located gun slot is cut out adjacent the upper edge of the planar member and pivotally mounted to the rear surface is a pair of support legs for supporting the planar member. A slip-on camouflage cover is provided for covering at least the front surface so that the camouflage pattern can be adapted to suit the terrain and environment, such as urban, desert and midnight blue, where the shield is being deployed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention pertains to portable protective shields for use by police and military personnel, and more particularly pertains to a portable ballistic shield that can stand alone to provide protective cover for police and military snipers and SWAT teams to use as a shooting platform. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Police and military SWAT teams rely on snipers and observers to provide continuous information, intelligence and cover fire before such teams approach or withdraw from the target location. Lacking the availability of adequate cover, observers and snipers must increase their distance from the target that negatively affects the accuracy of any shot that is taken. Such observers and snipers can use concealment such as Gilley suits and camouflage for more closely approaching the target; however, the use of such suits and camouflage brings with them the risk of injury or death by the user as such suits and camouflage do not provide for ...
