The Hardcore Defense Bravo Shield" is our top-of-the-line rifle shield. A specially tempered steel core easily absorbs multiple hits from heavy .308 projectiles, and the titanium faceplate provides superior protection against high velocity 5.56 mm projectiles, both full metal jacket and green tip.
See below for specifications, features, and shipping information.

For law enforcement entry teams and other users who require maximum protection against rifle fire, Hardcore Defense proudly offers the Bravo Shield™.  The Bravo Shield™ was designed from the start to withstand the following key rifle threat rounds:

  • 7.62x51 mm M80  149 grain FMJ at 2800 fps
  • 5.56x45 mm M193  55 grain FMJ at 3275 fps
  • 5.56x45 mm M855  62 grain "green tip" penetrator at 3200 fps

We designed the Bravo Shield™ to be the toughest hand-carried shield available!  M193s will typically easily penetrate steel torso plates and shields at the strike velocities listed above, M855s will cut through fiber composite shields, and ceramic armors can fail if hit multiple times.

The 7.62x39 mm round as used in the AK-47 is also easily stopped by Bravo shield, including mild steel core military ball ammunition.

The Bravo Shield achieves this unrivaled performance through the use of our proprietary titanium and steel laminate design The titanium strikeface blunts and slows high velocity incoming projectiles, which then splash against the steel core, with the majority of the bullet spall trapped between the plates.  Our design contains no fiber composites to wear out with heat, humidity, and time, and no ceramics which have issues with dropping and multiple hits.  The Bravo Shield™ can take a beating which would devastate other products.  For further information on our testing regimen, see our Testing page.

Like all of our shields the Bravo Shield can withstand a hit directly on the bolt head or adjacent to it without penetration of the shield.
