This article showcases futuristic and fantasy props that could enhance your airsoft gaming or cosplay experience. It's part of the Fantasy Airsoft Gear series.
SWAT uses ballistic shields in their operations. Airsoft players have airsoft versions of the anti-riot shields. In addition to the anti-riot shields, try a superhero shield or a medieval shield (see photos below). It could be fun to shoot your way through with an airsoft pistol while holding a form or plastic shield. The shield can keep you from being tagged by zombies, too. The toy shields are much cheaper than a fake ballistic shield as well. Just be sure to test their durability against airsoft BB's.
Of course, you can also use a real metal shield, instead of a foam or plastic shield. Then you can really see BB's bouncing in all directions. Just be careful you don't drop it on your feet.
Captain America's shield has really become quite popular ever since Marvel Comics made the Captain America blockbuster movies. Just searching for "Captain America shield" on Amazon returns a full page of the shields for costumes and cosplay. Being a "toy", they are quite inexpensive as well.
See the shield being held by the Captain America (Chris Evans) character in the movie poster above. The photo above, to the right, is the Captain America shield for costume and cosplay.
