Riot Shields

[atomic1fire]

Station riots are a bit uncommon nowdays, but I still think it'd be nice to have a good old Space Shield.

- hold it in one hand
- strongly protects you being disarmed while you use that hand
- restricts others from pushing you, fat-style

It'd just be a simple and fun addition to Riot lockers

If staff assistants could get a more terrible version made of staples and wire and a metal sheet that might make it more fun.

Imagine a firefight running around in like mining base with zip guns and makeshift shields playing spaceman paintball. last man standing wins.

Also the crew rarely if ever has a good reason to riot, like there's no greytide and rev/gang style rounds are pretty rare.

I still like the idea of sec riot shields though. Security should have a few unused combat items laying around.

Perhaps the riot shields should offer "some" protection against wizard's fireball. Like a spaceman version of captain america's shield you need HOS's permission to use.
