BlueRidge Armor VENGEANCE™ WMX-6 Level IIIA Ballistic Shield

The WMX6 is the next generation in Armor Express's VENGEANCE™ Series hard armor shields. The patent-pending design reduces weight and increases speed of deployment, resulting in high-speed protective GUNFIGHTER™ shields that allow rapid transition between weapon systems (less lethal, handgun, and rifle). The Triple-V upper was designed by shield operators to aid maneuverability in close-quarter combat. While compact, the design affords ample ballistic torso and cranial coverage. The WMX6 GUNFIGHTER™ features Armor Express's patented VENGEANCE™ viewport which enhances operator field of view at extreme close quarters, and is deployed by over 2000 United States Marshals as well as hundreds of state and local law enforcement officers.
