The hybrid shield is AR 15 capable.

ThorBoard was lab tested at H.P. White: with ten rounds of .44Mag with no penetration (test available). It is 3A rated (except for the add-on, level 3 hybrid plate). There is no penetration, no spall, and no deformation. It absorbs impact, with no shock to the officer. ThorBoard AND a vest are needed in today's world. A vest alone does not protect the head, neck and arms. The impact from a round in the vest alone, puts the responder on his back. With ThorBoard we take the hit so the first responder is still able to respond. We shot Thorboard with an AR 15, and while the rounds did penetrate they stoppedat the vest which did not have a plate.

If looking around any object(peek), the head is protected with ThorBoard. If seeking shelter behind the vehicle door, our door mount offers enhanced protection. If in a hallway, it offers shelter where none exists.

For suspicious vehicles and traffic stops, it protects the officer. But more than that, ThorBoard buys the officer time.to mke better decisions, If the driver is reaching for perhaps a wallet and a gun appears, the officer is protected. Both parties go home. ThorBoard is a de-escalation tool, a current hot topic. It is also used for serving warrants where small spaces are the norm. The shield is optically clear so situational awareness is exceltional.

We will continue to develop new innovative and practical products to our law enforcement you safe.
