Why are ballistic shields not designed with hard
angles?

• One of the points which most people misunderstood
  with this subject is that ballistic shields are
  not designed with hard angles.
• There are two main reasons why such a decision
  has been made.
• First and foremost, should a piece of shrapnel or
  other projectile come into contact with the
  perpendicular corner of the shield, it could
  ricochet off and endanger other individuals
  nearby. The second reason is that should an
  individual be beside the ballistic shield when
  something does enter through the shield and
  travel back to an angle, they would likely be
  severely wounded by the travelling projectile.
• When there is a lack of space or other
  occurrences, we must remember that these corners
  must be designed in such a way to make sure we
  protect individuals safety otherwise, we risk
  having casualties occur. It must be able to
  deflect rounds at any angle, said Kleinerman.

What is the difference between a riot shield and
a ballistic shield?

• The Science Behind The Puncture-Resistant
  Material
• Ballistic shields are not designed with hard
  angles, but whats the reason?
• This article aims to address the reasons poles
  might poles not have hard angles that you can use
  to shield yourself. The first thing to mention is
  that this article has no intention of being a
  comprehensive article about ballistic bomb
  blanket protection, but rather to focus on
  providing one insight into this complex field.
• Across the world, there are many different types
  of equipment for protection. Take riot or police
  helmets, for example. They are specifically
  designed to be as equally effective against sharp
  objects as they are blunt impacts. When it comes
  to ballistic shields though, their material is
  designed with the opposite in mind. They dont
  need to take blunt focus forces too well because
  that would be detrimental for its stability and
  effectiveness overall.

Can you break a ballistic shield?

  and material is designed this way.

Are riot shields actually bulletproof?

• We need to address, as to why ballistic helmets
  and material is designed this way. There are a
  few things to take into consideration.
• Ceramics are a ceramic composite. The main
  difference between ceramic composites and ceramic
  is how much they are in contact with each other.
  For instance, there is porcelain, which is a
  single piece of ceramic glass. The reason this is
  used in a lot of military and riot helmets is the
  increased weight that is reduced from the
  material.
• As well as this, it is much cheaper to produce
  than polycarbonate or NOMEX, the polymers
  commonly used to create impact resistant
  surfaces.
• One of the main issues with using polycarbonate
  in ballistic protection is that it isnt able to
  properly diffuse high-velocity impact forces.
  This is due of the material used to manufacture
  its structure. Polycarbonate is strong and stiff,
  which makes it ideal for many common uses, but it
  doesnt have the ability to take on the impact of
  a bullet and it can crack and shatter into the
  worst kind of debris. Another issue is that it is
  not as impact resistant as ceramics.
