Rebuttals welcome. But not necessary. I don't know if you're familiar with many video games, Elliot, but in Rainbow Six: Siege there is a character with a bulletproof see-through shield that he can attach to his primary weapon. Basically, he cannot be headshotted from the front, without the person in question first shoot his shiel enough to finally break it.

Now, if Nerf got their inspiration from it, they're doing a mighty poor job. With Nerf's shields, they're

A. Tiny

B. Block the user's view

But if it was like the shield in the game it would be large, and easy to see through (giggity?)
