Abstract: An armor shield. The arm shield includes a ballistic material layer and a fabric layer. The fabric layer snuggly encases the ballistic material layer. The ballistic material layer and the fabric layer form a front side, a rear side, and an edge of the armor shield. A least one looped handle may be secured to the rear side.

Abstract: A ballistic firearms container. The container includes a base plate and sidewalls vertically extending relative to the base plate. The sidewalls include at least one rim forming an opening leading into the container. The container further includes a ballistic plate made of a bullet resistant material capable of absorbing an impact from a firearm. The ballistics plate is vertically extending relative to the base plate. A connector is configured to secure a firearm to the base plate.

Abstract: Body armor is provided. The body armor includes a ballistic material layer having a front surface and a rear surface. A foam layer is adhered to the front surface. A metal plate is adhered to the foam layer, thereby sandwiching the foam layer in between the ballistic material layer and the metal plate. If a bullet striking the body armor passes through the metal plate, the bullet is redirected by the metal plate by creating asymmetrical loads tending to rotate the projectile perpendicular to its path. The projectile is allowed to skew in the gap formed by the foam layer and enters the ballistic material layer at an angle, which allows the multiple layers of fabric in the ballistic material layer to absorb the energy, preventing full penetration of the body armor.
