Riot shield

riot shield is a ZS-exclusive item in item asylum. It is only available to the Riot Shield mutation.
==Functionality==
Upon being used, the user charges forward for a short distance, temporarily gaining +20 move speed. upon hit, wielder slams the riot shield in front of them, losing -10 move speed for a second and dealing 15 damage while also applying ragdoll and knockback. The riot shield can also deflect hitscan projectiles, such as those that come from m1911, mad sheriff and even more powerful firearms like the awp or even dragon deagle, although you can still be shot from the back. 
==Tips==
* This is very useful around edges, as the ragdoll can easily throw survivors off the edge.
* Try to enable shiftlock when using this, as the shield does not reflect any bullets if it is not in front of the user.
* Much like using maul as a Tank, you can possibly use riot shield to trap your opponent in a corner, making them unable to escape.
* Try to minimize jumping, as it leaves you exposed for the duration of the jump.
