Government buyer FAQ
Does Level IIIA stop rifle ammunition?
Do not assume so. This is the manufacturer's handgun-threat category. Select a separately documented rifle-threat shield for a rifle requirement.
What changes when I select ERT?
The ERT handle is a distinct operator-grip arrangement and SKU. Confirm actual delivered weight and suitability.
Are large shields easier to carry?
Larger dimensions add coverage but can increase weight and storage requirements. Include doorway, vehicle-storage and staffing constraints in the RFQ.
