Abstract: A hand-maneuverable ballistic shield and firing apparatus provides a means for defending a user from ballistic threats while simultaneously providing a mobile platform from which to return fire. Additionally, the apparatus offers a means of ammunitions storage allowing the user to easily reload and resupply during long engagements. The apparatus may be converted to be used in conjunction with any weapon system for any purpose, including riot control, home defense, hostage rescue, internal security, and direct action. Further, the apparatus features a means of observing the environment through the protective portion of the shield platform. The shield platform offers adjustable portions of the user-facing components to allow for operation by both left-handed and right-handed individuals to facilitate operation by the user.
