Law Enforcement
When tactical police squads or hostage rescue teams are approaching a heavily-armed suspect or group of suspects, they are increasingly using ballistic glass or kevlar gun shields. These shields supplement the protection from the body armor that the officers are already wearing by protecting the exposed body areas such as the neck and face. Gun shields typically have a firing hole or port through which the officer can fire a weapon. Some police officers using gun shields use revolvers instead of semi-automatic pistols, because the slide of a semi-auto pistol tends to get caught in the firing port.
