Abstract:
A ballistic shield, comprising:a first ballistic plate including a ballistic material; a second ballistic plate including the ballistic material and connected to a side of the first ballistic plate so that the first ballistic plate and the second ballistic plate may fold together to substantially overlap and so that a gap exists between the first ballistic plate and the second ballistic plate when not folded together; a fabric covering the first ballistic plate and the second ballistic plate, the fabric connecting the first ballistic plate and the second ballistic plate and providing the gap between the first ballistic plate and the second ballistic plate; an overlapping ballistic section including the ballistic material and connected to at least one of the first ballistic plate and the second ballistic plate so that the overlapping ballistic section covers the gap between the first ballistic plate and the second ballistic plate; and a handle to facilitate holding of the ballistic shield.
