This video, presented by Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced individual with knowledge of archery kinetics and various bow types, tests the effectiveness of riot shields against different archery projectiles. It details penetration tests using a recurve bow, a compound bow (PSE Stinger at 300-350 fps), and a high-performance crossbow (TenPoint Nitro XRT at 470 fps and 190 ft-lbs). The results demonstrate that standard riot shields offer limited protection against powerful archery equipment, with multiple shields and specialized bolts required for significant resistance.
