A body armour plate for in a bullet proof vest which doubles as a military shield shovel

A body armour plate for in a bullet proof vest which doubles as a military shield shovel.

With a certain mechanism so a handle can be put in or on. Maybe with a thread mechanism, or a clicking mechanism. Or simply with the handle attached and a certain vest.

Extra: Double ballistic plate possibility

Thinking out military shield shovel uses, tactics and more

Thinking out military shield shovel uses, tactics and more.

A couple of ideas:
It can be used to protect the side or front of the head.
It might be useful for peeking around corners or over cover walls, protecting parts of the head.
It could protect the back of the head if it can be strongly, fitted onto the backpack.
-Very useful for retreating etc.

A lighter and more bulletproof military shield shovel which is also made to be used as a (small) shield

I just found old military shovels which were also made to be used as a shield.
-Shield-shovels

And my idea is to make a newer version which is lighter and also more bulletproof.
