PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

LEGION Shield with Viewport brought to you by RTS Tactical.

The bold new spearhead of an elite ultra-lightweight rifle-rated defensive shield line by the dynamic R&D team at RTS Tactical.

Created to stop rifle-rated threats with speed, mobility, and effectiveness. Utilizing patent-pending viewport technology, hardened steel ballistic-rated bolts and new technology systems ensures you become the hero, protecting allies and engaging threats simultaneously.

LEVEL OF PROTECTION

NIJ Standard: 0101.07 RF1, offering protection against 7.62x51mm M80 Ball, 7.62x39mm MSC, and 5.56mm M193.

Unlike the previous NIJ 0101.06 Level III standard, which only tested against 7.62x51mm M80 Ball, the RF1 standard includes additional rifle threats, ensuring broader protection against modern ballistic threats encountered by law enforcement.

Now engineered in alignment with the ASTM E3347/E3347M-25 ballistic shield standard—designed to validate full-shield performance, including edges, viewports, and fasteners, under multi-hit rifle and handgun threats.

KEY FEATURES

  • Patent-Pending Boltless Viewport: Our innovative system removes all bolts and adhesives, eliminating gaps and vulnerabilities found in traditional designs. Tested to be three times stronger than conventional adhesives, it ensures a zero-gap barrier for superior clarity, durability, and protection.
  • Ballistic Rated Bolts: Hardened RF1 bolts, rigorously field-tested from all angles (head-on, side, and 30-degree), maintain uncompromised performance and integrity under impact.
  • Compact & Ultra-Light Design: Measuring 18" x 32" or 20" x 36" and weighing 16.8 - 19.3 lbs.
  • Advanced Ballistic Protection: NIJ Standard: 0101.07 RF1 (equivalent to NIJ Level III), it provides state-of-the-art defense against high-velocity rifle rounds.
  • Enhanced Durability: Heavy-duty rubber bumpers on the corners absorb shocks and protect against wear, ensuring the shield remains reliable in real-world operations.
  • U.S. Made Craftsmanship: Proudly manufactured in the USA, built to the highest quality standards to meet the demanding needs of modern tactical teams.

SIZE & WEIGHT

  • 18" X 32" = 16.8 lbs
  • 20" X 36" = 19.3 lbs

SHELF LIFE & WARRANTY

RTS Tactical offers a 5-Year Limited Warranty on all ballistic shields, covering manufacturing defects and replacement of essential components such as handles, straps, fasteners, and viewport systems due to normal wear and tear. If a shield is shot in the line of duty, we will replace it at no cost.

WHY WE MADE IT

From the early days of the Spartans and the Roman Legions, the shield has always had a place in combat. Although the landscape has changed, the effectiveness of the shield has not.

That's why we created the Legion series, specifically for law enforcement professionals who require a lightweight, highly deployable Level III tactical assault shield that can adapt to various situations.

The Legion series stands out with its unique features. Its precisely positioned viewport and cutouts are not just design elements but strategic enhancements that improve visibility, weapon deployment, and mobility, setting it apart from other shields in the market.

The Legion Shield allows users to navigate confined spaces and structures when superior mobility and the need to wield the shield are critical. At RTS, we designed the Legion series to maximize the ability to see and defeat threats.
