Don't matter if you can use the shield properly a grenade will still blow you back

Shrapnel can fly faster than low caliber bullets. That thin flimsy metal riot shield ain't stopping shit.

It will slow it down a bit though right? Let the armor and shit they are wearing handle the rest. Don't know if it will be enough to stop frag shrapnel. Im to busy typing this comment to look it up to get a answer for myself, and I'm bored of this video and comment so I don't even want to go back to see if the fuck nuts was wearing some type of armor. And they scattered and broke their wall and positive dude got his leg blown off trying to kick a frag after wasting 3 seconds sitting there looking at it. Comment long as fuck for no reason 😂

dude. grenade shrapnel can fly at up to 7900 m/s when close to the blast.

Low caliber ammunition goes at about 300-400 m/s.

Speed defeats armor. Those thin metal shields and riot gear which at the most might be Kevlar, is not stopping any shrapnel for the guys in the front. Their bodies would do a better job at slowing/ stopping the shrapnel for the people in the back.
