Shields cannot be more than 48" in any dimension. | Shields must be constructed from foam and be designed to be held in one hand. They can be covered in painted latex or fabric.

| + | |||
| + | * Must have at least 10mm of dense foam around all edges (front, back and side). | ||
| + | * Must have at least 10mm dense foam covering any hard protrusions (bolt heads etc). | ||
| + | * No wing nuts. Protruding bolts must be cut down as much as possible. | ||
| + | * Should be constructed from a material that is able to resist significant impacts and weight on it without cracking - ideally polycarbonate. No acrylic or laminated glass or anything else liable to crack, splinter or shatter. | ||
| + | * Wooden formers (generally plywood) are liable to be quite heavy to achieve the required strength, and must be covered with at least 6mm dense foam padding on the front. | ||
| + | * If the shield has a significant curve to it (like a police riot shield), ideally the most directly forward-facing part of the curve should be padded also. | ||
| + | * Although physically impacting another player or barging with a shield are already not permitted in the rules, doing so with a hard-cored shield is liable to get the offender immediately removed from the event. | ||
