Riot Shield

[Diamond_Knight_9]

OK This will be a re-texture of the normal shield added in 1.9 but i has a variety of uses
1.) it can block bullets shot at user
2.) it can block walker attacks from the front
3.) it can block against melee attacks from players
4.) it can partially protect the user from explosives

with these 4 benefits it has one down side, you can only use on handed weapons (including guns) such as dull knife or MP5 and other 1 handed weapons.

it is a tier 3 item and can be found as rarely as a tier 3 item can or it can be bought from the melee weapon shop.

They alr said they will be adding that in the new update i think

 

[Diamond_Knight_9]

ha ha you think >

 

[Beetley]

This has been considered for the new update.
Whether or not it will be added is yet to be decided.

So you're suggesting a shield which fully negates bullet and melee damage..?

That's reallly, reallllly op.
Maybe use a % damage reduction or certain types of weapons will be negated, and then it would be pretty good

Riot shoelds should break if hit by a sniper, tier 3 or above

M14s are dmrs so their bullets aren't even very large..

Just give normal damage, is my solution.

A DMR is a designated military sniper....

"In most cases, a designated marksman rifle will share the caliber and possibly even the ammunition type used by standard issue rifles. DM rifles may be issued with standard ball ammunition, or special match-grade loads, such as 7.62mm NATO 'M118LR' sniper round. Sniper rifles are (almost exclusively) deployed with match grade ammunition in order to take advantage of their full effective range and accuracy potential.

In the U.S. military, designated marksman rifles chambered for 5.56mm NATO have available the 5 g (77 grain) match-grade cartridge that enhances range to roughly 700 meters."

I'm not sure what this proves.

Compared to a .50 BMG, the 7.62 is tiny.

 

[Diamond_Knight_9]

ok u make a fair point. it will parcaly deflect bullets and all of melee (because thats what shields do) and it will have a durability on it like 400 or around.

But it can still penetrate a riot shield, riot shelds are designed for riots, not gunfights

What if riot shield just reduce knock-back from walkers and being shot, but negate about 10% of the damage caused by guns.

10% is a bit small..

Like ive said before, Riot ahields are designed for riots, not firefights.

Like ive said before, Riot ahields are designed for riots, not firefights.

Riot shields should block melee damage (Like in the base code of Minecraft), and could maybe block bullets up to a certain point. Snipers, LMGs, and assault rifles would do the same damage, and RPG/ explosion damage would be blocked by 50%. For shotguns, either half of the pellets could be blocked, or 50% of damage could be blocked. That way, it has a use (specifically blocking smaller gunshots)

And smaller caliber handguns..
