The Minuteman Folding Ballistic Shield is the original ballistic shield that can be folded for rapid deployment and convenient storage. It's the ideal shield for any Patrol, SWAT, VIP Protection, Harbor or Airport Security team's needs. The U.S. Patented Minuteman is the only shield of its kind that features a viewport which provides the operator with a clear line of sight without compromising protection.
The Minutemen is covered in a ballistic nylon material and is stowed in a non-descript carry bag that comes complete with grab handle and carry strap. The webbing on the lower half of the shield can be used to store miscellaneous items such as flex cuffs or stiffening rods.
The Minutemen Folding Ballistic Shield is available in 3 different options and offers a NIJ3A or NIJ3 threat level protection. Sheriff and Police patches are provided and custom patches are available upon request. It is also available in red, non-ballistic units for training purposes.
