A DeadStop lightweight police ballistic shield in reality.

A Ballistic Shield or Tactical Shield is a hand-held shield that is capable of defending the user from ballistics. 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 and military forces throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege

Three variants of the Ballistic Shield are featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, each used by the Operators Fuze, Blitz and Montagne respectively.

When equipped and out it negates all incoming damage directed at it from the general direction the user is facing in. However, unless the user is crouching (With the exception of Montagne), the legs are exposed, leaving them vulnerable. In addition, the sides and rear of the user are open at all times, making them easier to kill.

Unlike the other two variants, the shield carried by Fuze offers no unique ability of its own.

Flash Shield

This shield used by Blitz has a band of extremely powerful lights attached onto the front. This can be used by Blitz to blind enemies in front of him, enabling him to get the advantage and push forwards. However, there are only five charges for the flash, preventing extended use.

Extendable Shield

Used by Montagne, this shield can be extended to cover the user's legs. This can be used to give Montagne and his allies better protection and can effectively block off doors. However, while the shield is extended, Montagne has decreased movement speeds and cannot use his weapon, forcing him to rely on others for help and fire support.
