1M Combat Shield

The 1M Combat Shield is considered to be a tactical assault shield with the capabilities to defend the user and to attack opponents using the bladed points on the front and the blades down the sides of the shield. The 1M shield is held parallel with the arm and can be swung parallel with the body to attack. There is an adjustable strap in the center of the shield where the arm is strapped to the shield, also there is a handle at the front on the inside allowing the user to get a good hold of the shield and to drive the weapon forward to impale opponents.

The 1M is very light weight and is considered cheap, and a useful tool, where the user can defend him/herself against hostile Talyaxains and attack others. The strap is made of a type of leather and the shield is shotgun proof being made out of 4mm steel allowing it to be useful in gun fights. Sergals are the creatures that most use this weapon as its size and weight is too heavy for other Eltus races, because the 1M shield can be used with one arm and hand, this allows the user to wield a gun or lance in the other hand.

The shield is popular as is easily produced and modified, the 1M shield first started production in 88RC and has altered my times having many versions. The shield is made by Arken Weapons Co., to this very day in the GR workshops owned my Arken, the shield is exported to various weapon merchants across the outer GR and Reono. Some versions of this weapon are considered very valuable as they are rare and very sought after. The shield comes in a sand color stock, but many people like to paint the front or the shield with various patterns and images.
