Rocket Shield

The Rocket Shield is a weapon in Call of Duty: Black Ops III in the Zombies maps Shadows of Evil and Der Eisendrache. It is a large Art Deco riot shield with a molded eagle large headlight above the window (similar to a locomotive) on its front side, and a rocket (similarly to the Der Eisendrache rockets) on its back side.
It is the spiritual successor to the Zombie Shield, being able to melee when equipped and block back attacks from zombies when unequipped, but has a burst function which can fling the player forward, knocking zombies away. Unlike the Zombie Shield, it cannot be planted as a distraction for zombies.
Charges for the shield can be replenished by a Max Ammo Power-Up which will refill all charges and utilising white gas canisters with red valves that can be found in specific spots of the map in both Shadows of Evil and Der Eisendrache or found in Harvest Pods in Shadows of Evil, these will refill a singular charge.
