The Blast Shield provides protection from dart fire. It is designed so users can hide behind it in heavy fire so darts do not hit them. It wraps around from the top of the blaster to the blaster's barrels' sides. The shield can be removed from the blaster and attached to other blasters via tactical rail. The shield also has a wall of criss-crossing plastic that the user may view their opponent through. Incoming darts, including Streamline Darts, cannot fit through this opening. This attachment will block most oncoming fire to the head area, but older users will find that the scalp is still open to oncoming fire.
The Blast Shield was specifically designed for the Stampede, so attaching it to other blasters will cause it to wobble significantly whenever movement occurs; however, the Recon CS-6 seems to be an exception to this.
The Blast Shield has two orange tabs at the top which allow the user to open the tabs of the shield's inverse tactical rail. This allows the shield to be clamped to the front tactical rail of the Stampede; sliding it on like other accessories is not possible as the front sight of the Stampede is in the way of the shield.
