Honestly replace these with the 40mm riot smokers and they'd serve more a purpose for area denial than anything.
Everyone has their own idea about riot shields it seems but I feel like Weavels main post is the best idea. Having the disarm resistance, fat persons push would be cool. Having a damage reduction against projectiles and thrown objects would also be good, but it needs to have zero melee resistance for balancing purposes.
And another balancing aspect.. it should be battery powered and requires to be recharged. I'm thinking more along the lines of an energy shield than a riot shield, in that when powered down it can fit in your bag, powered on it only lasts for so long before cutting out and requiring to recharge.
