''Then I don't like it. Seems pointless. I don't see why I would use a shield instead of fighting. The point is to be a better fighter, having better abilities with guns, and more kills. This weapons is the invert of all this. The only good use to an item like this would be deflecting mortars/rocket lunchers."

Anyhow, the idea would be to use a ONE-HANDED WEAPON, -AND- the shield at the same time, just you press one button to shoot, and one to defend/reflect/whatever.

So it's not just "durr lets stand infront of my friends and block attacks", it's actually meant to be used FOR combat. Gosh..

Just learn how to dodge then.
