Ballistic shield

==Overview= The Ballistic shield or Tactical shield is a hand-held shield that is capable of defending the user from handguns, shotguns and submachine guns. Less common are heavier and thicker rifle-protection shields that are mounted on wheels for ease of mobility. Ballistic shields have been used by law enforcement throughout the twentieth century.

Appearances
The Tactical Shield made it's first appearance being used by Olga and Sergei Gurlukovich's Unit. First on the fake Oil Tanker, which housed Metal Gear Ray and then the Big Shell, which housed the original Arsenal Gear in Alert Phase on either. These were made of a certain type of clear material and would shatter from enough small arms fire such as a SOCOM.

Back in the the 1960's During The Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater the GRU unit under the lead of Colonel Volgin used them in there operations under the Alert Phase as well. Later in the Early 70's, rouge members of FOX as well as abandoned Red army soldiers during the San Hieronymo Takeover used tactical shields while hunting for Naked Snake and his group, who procured some of their own. The later group would be first known as FOXHOUND and Militaires Sans Frontieres,Who developed their own, then Later Outer Heaven.
