SPINDALE, N.C. — BlueRidge Armor recently introduced its new VENGEANCE X7 – a hard armor ballistic, rifle-rated shield.

Showcased at SHOT Show 2023, the X7 was independently tested to meet various RF1 performance requirements outlined in the recently released ASTM ballistic shield test protocol. BlueRidge Armor also received feedback from police officers across the nation when developing the shield to meet real-world requirements for routine deployment.

The X7 features the Vengeance viewport and ballistic bezel system, Elzetta Design integrated grip and LED lighting assembly, and Saber Torch high visibility ID panels.

The VENGEANCE X7 includes a design that curves around the user, providing higher coverage, a lightweight ballistic composite for improved balance, and was independently tested to meet various NIJ 0108.01 Level III and ASTM RF1 specifications.
