THE REAPER™
The Reaper™ is a patented miniaturized lightweight mechanical and hydraulic exoskeleton support unit mounted onto the wearers’ rear torso. A curved overhead support structure directs a narrow diameter cable attached to the shield with a quick release, effectively transfers all the weight of the shield onto a comfortable padded belt worn on the wearers’ upper hips.
• User positions the shield instantly and effortlessly at the exact level desired
• Eliminates user fatigue – increases physical endurance & performance
• Provides stable aiming platform for amazing weapon accuracy
• Not a reel – shield is suspended weightlessly in front of the user
• Mechanical and hydraulic components are fully contained within the vertical tube attached onto rear tactical vest (upper rear MOLLE grid required on upper back of tactical vest)
• Two optional rear torso support packs available for exoskeleton positioning over top of users’ tactical vest
• Provides excellent stability during quick movement and changes of direction
• Can be folded and stowed on rear torso when not in use
• Quick release device on shield end of support cable

B-ROC™ BALLISTIC ROUGH OPERATIONS COVER
Protects the ceramic strike face surface from handgun impacts and rough operations handling and can lower to protect MRAPS® Series users’ legs from handguns, shotgun and deflected rifle rounds. Also captures handgun projectiles for ballistic forensic identification and can be detached for use as an independent shield.

The B-ROC™ is an optional extra-large NIJ Level IIIA handgun, shotgun and rifle deflection / ricochet protective armor panel designed for use on the three extra-large size (XL) MRAPS® Series shield models (M3-P-XL, M3-PP-XL & M4-XL). This lightweight military grade polyethylene composite armor panel (level IIIA) ballistic protective armor is backed with high-strength honeycomb impact absorbing backing. Incorporating a foam standoff, the B-ROC™ can be affixed to the front strike face of all three models of MRAPS® Series extra-large (XL) size shields, offering the following safety enhancements:
• At users’ discretion the B-ROC™ instantly deploys from the strike face surface of the MRAPS® XL size models, dropping straight downwards, and hanging low to protect shield users’ legs from handgun, shotgun and deflected rifle rounds
• Can be quickly detached for use as an additional extra large sized shield during emergency situations (such as an officer or citizen rescue)
• The B-ROC™ protects ceramic strike face surfaces from damage inflicted by handgun impacts, severe operational rough treatment, and also contains ceramic splash from rifle rounds piercing the level IIIA composite
• Captures handgun projectiles intact and detaches for ease of forensic identification – enables the undamaged rifle rated MRAPS® Series XL shield to be kept in service (not needed as evidence)
Manufactured with high impact plastic sheet backed with shock absorbing foam, ROC’s are lightweight, thin and low cost protective covers that attach / detach with Velcro fasteners onto the strike face surface of the ceramic facing. The front surface of each B-ROC™ includes adequate Velcro for mounting identification patch and Baker Ballistics optional LED lighting system. ROC’s are available in all standard MRAPS® Series colors (Ranger Green, Black, Coyote Brown, Desert Tan/ Sand).

SMALL ARMS RAPID RELOAD SYSTEM™ (SARRS)
The SARRS™ was specifically designed and developed to provide all users of AR-platform weapons speed reloading capability during operations with any model of MRAPS® Series ballistic shields.
High-speed reload capability is especially useful when delivering accurate “cover fire” to advance towards adversaries, or during dynamic rescue operations.
In the heat of battle, the ability to speed reload a fresh 30 round magazine in less than one second, while simultaneously keeping eyes downrange on threat, is simply awesome!
Model ID: SARRS-M4
Compatible Magazine: M-4 Magpul, 30 rounds
Materials: Composite & aircraft quality metallic structure & hardware
Mounting Surface: Popular T-Slot black anodized 80/20 rail (factory installed)
Weight: 0.6 lbs / 0.28 kg
Color: Black
REAPER OPTIMIZED HANDLE SYSTEM (ROHS)
The ROHS should only be considered if the shield will be EXCLUSIVELY used with The Reaper™ exoskeleton support. Permanent modifications are required for installation of the ROHS, which require exoskeleton support for proper balance and shield positioning characteristics.
The ROHS includes:
- Exoskeleton support cable one-hand attach and quick-release ability
- Padded forearm trauma reduction nest with Nylon loop keeps arm in contact with rear surface of shield
- Belly pad for additional stability and hands-free shield positioning
- Fully adjustable ambidextrous hand-hold handle
The ROHS allows the shield operator the ability of simple one-handed attachment of the support cable onto ROHS, which is located just above the shield’s center of gravity. The ROHS indexes the users’ forearm and hand into an ideal position to manipulate the weightless shield from a low position, horizontally across the abdomen – well below the shield’s center of gravity.
Model ID: ROHS-1
Components: Aircraft quality aluminum & skeletonized steel, closed cell foam padding, fully adjustable angle aluminum handle, military stubby plungers (2) for quick release and ambidextrous arm/hand positioning
Weight: 1.8 lbs / 0.8 kg
Color: Black
Finish: Anodized
NOTE:
- ROHS is optional equipment on Model #’s M3-P-XL & M3-PP-XL
- ROHS is included as standard on Model # M4-XL
- Selecting the ROHS option on any MRAPS® Series XL size shield should NOT be considered if operations are to be conducted WITHOUT use of The Reaper™.
- The ROHS CANNOT be field installed – original factory installations only.
If permanent dedicated-man two-handed shield carry is desired (without weapon presentation), all three models of extra-large (XL) sized MRAPS® Series shields can be special ordered with the ROHS modified by addition of
BELT CLIP
Clip accessory enables the user of any regular size MRAPS® Series shield to temporarily raise the shield to a higher position than the hands-free standard Dual Bungee / Quick Release support system permits.
BELT CLIP USAGE PROVIDES USERS WITH EXTENSIVE HEAD COVERAGE AND REDUCES FATIGUE BY ELIMINATING THE NEED TO LIFT THE SHIELD HIGHER WHILE CONDUCTING THE FOLLOWING FAST OPERATIONS AND MOVEMENTS:
- Running / Sprinting
- Vigorously climbing stairs
- Maneuvering steep or rough terrain
Manufactured using skeletonized spring-metal, the Belt Clip is simply slipped down onto the central region of the users’ front waist and/or gun belt. The bottom edge of any of the three available threat levels of regular size MRAPS® Series shield models (M3-P-R, M3-PP-R & M4-R) indexes onto the clip, raising the shield.
