US12716692 - Portable ballistic shield with integrated weapon bracket

In one example, a portable shield includes a first cover, a second cover, a panel, a panel retention system, and a weapon support bracket. The second cover is configured to couple to the first cover and thereby from a cavity between the first and second covers. The panel is configured to fit within the cavity and to resist penetration of a weapon-fired projectile having a kinetic energy greater than 500 foot-pounds. The panel retention system is coupled to the first or second shield cover and configured to bear the load of the panel and to hold the panel in a fixed place within the cavity. The weapon support bracket is coupled to the panel retention system and has a bracket arm selectively moveable between an extended position and a retracted position. The extended position extends the bracket arm beyond respective edges of the first and second shield covers. The bracket arm provides a surface configured to support the forend portion of a firearm.
