french counter terror and german counter terror use them, american helicopter pilots and mounted gunners use them as well IIRC.
most militaries issue goggles or glasses that protect from shrapnel, because shrapnel is more of a threat inna sandbox. For counter terror units kicking in doors, they have more of a concern taking a round to the face. Its not really useful for everyone to have a face shield.
Also post operators with facemasks.

The Swiss
Since that's where the Russians bought the helmets from at the start and then later made famous with their Spetsnaz.
>>28458910
Those tiny shields are cute, but what's the point ? They seem unecessary cumbersome.
>>28458910
>flashlight ducktaped to gun
>>28458910
Also longest silencer ever on the smg but none on the Makarov, wtf ?
>>28458910
I find it hard to believe this isn't airshit
but I want it to be real.
>>28459082
slavs gonna slav
>>28458910
>What kind of flashlight do you want on your gun Yuri?
>Just fuck my shit up Borris
And then apparently Borris decided to tape the biggest damn mag light he could find onto Yuri's gun. Because yeah, that makes sense.
>>28459068
Oh god I missed this one. Who are these guys ?
>>28459106
all about reducing that muzzle climb at any cost
>>28459056
upper body frag and pistol caliber protection when peeking or storming.
>>28459068
>ducktaped
>>28459153
>tape
>duck
>ducktape
same same but different
besides, i've been drinking hard tonight, mea culpa
>>28459056
to protect your torso
they often seen with a red circle in the center
the circle act as a visual distraction
>>28459082
it is a small carbine, not a SMG
>>28458910
I kind of get the shields, but the flashlight?
I wonder if they use the added weight to compensate for some of the awful VSS recoil
>>28459159
Oh, hey footage, you didn't have your name on.
>>28459150
I get it but one guy with a REAL ballistic shield on the front should be enough.
>>28459209
I don't get how that answers the question
it's a small carbine, I get that
but why the flashlight?
>>28459207
eh, I forgot to take it off, Im picky with where I namefag
But I am the liquor, so fuck it
>>28459233
he's saying that it ain't a VSS
>>28459196
>>28459233
that pic was from 2004 or 2006
when Russian hadn't know about the existence of 1913 rail and tactical gear
if they need a flash light, they would just duck tape one on their gun
>>28459229
you might need to cover more than one angle, and cover men in more than one position
if you are in the kind of position where you need an AK proof shield to get through, you're not likely to be in a situation where grenades are not an option
>>28459170
Only usefull against handgun calibers I presume ?
>>28459260
wow, thanks anon
>>28459278
yes
they are also lighter than a full size ballistic shield
>>28459277
>if you are in the kind of position where you need an AK proof shield to get through, you're not likely to be in a situation where grenades are not an option
Grenades are not an option when hostages are around, like during last year events in france.
About ballistic shields, are they immune to 5,56 or 5,45 AP ?

bretty good footage of what I believe are FSB spetsnaz fighting Dangestani ISIS members
>>28458731
all tactical teams, almost
>>28459374
>5,56 or 5,45 AP ?
level 3 ceramic plate can stop them
but level 3 AR-500 cann't
>>28459396
pretty dope.
I never thought it was practical to take a ballistic shield up a mountain. but god damn it they did it
>>28459396
really?
that footage was old
and the my russian sauce said they was just some rebel
>>28459456
fucking World Conflict footage lied to me :(

>>28459505
cheers

>>28458910
How many fucking batteries do those hold? Do they run forever?
>>28459505
Russians have been using some sexy stuff lately. I don't even know what suits are these, but they look great. Some sort of modern gorka?
>>28459260
What the fuck is the shield guy holding over his shoulder? Is that bunch of bananas ducked taped up?
>>28459617
Some sort of sponge or cloth. It's to not hurt his shoulder if he has to let go of the shield to grab his gun or something else.
>>28459617
it looks like a shoulder thing to bear some of the shields weight on his shoulder
>>28459617
It's attached to the shield so you can rest the weight of it on your shoulders, instead of trying to hold it up with just the arms.
>>28459617
>What the fuck is the shield guy holding over his shoulder?
part of the shield
>>28459617
Also, ghetto slav padding
>>28459637
Imagine being these small town units and seeing FSB using lightweight articulated shields while your unit has to carry this heavy monstrosity.
>>28459615
i don't know
MVD and FSB operator on operation would wear what ever they want
>>28459664
holy shit that sounds kind of awesome
>be internal security special forces
>freedom to look as operator as possible
>able to pull do a mission, remove chechens and then be back home by the end of the week
>>28459374
they are when you're slav
>>28459664
that looks like 100% authentic MARPAT
>>28458910
Misha u my bipod now
rip hearing.
also, this kinda funny how he tries to aim/holding the gun.
i really hope the picture has taken for the sake of the mistake this dumb boris made.
also, it just me or the stock of the gun is behind his shoulder?
>>28460175
Their hearing will be fine considering the fuckhuge suppressors on their guns, and he is holding it a strange way.
>>28458731
*posts picture of knock tig helmet.*
>>28459505
Not sure why his face is so amusing to me.
>>28459658
And while you had to make your own shield.
