sorry about the caps,anyway,i see your point,i do think they should be limited to 1 or 2 per team ,usually an entry team has only one or 2 ,the first one in has the sheild,the others have fire capabilities.the front man has very limited use of a weapon.his role is to protect the entry team so they can get into an area thats all.mostly all tactical sheilds have handholds for one arm so the other hand can hold a firearm,depending on the situation.for all on a team to have one would not be tactical,it would be ridiculous having ten people walking around a course with sheilds,so yes to being limited. thanks capt. longbow out
