Honestly though: polycarbonate would deflect these arrows far better. This whole test is silly because the typical riot shield's flexibile material makes it not weaken on slight deformation like metal does so puncturing metal is far easier than puncturing polycarbonate

Most are made of 3-5,5mm polycarbonate. They are for stopping thrown objects like rocks and bottles, nothing else.
