The usefulness of the paint is more in the way it prevents people from actively shooting you or your compatriots. Note how the people that were sprayed were in the midst of aiming their guns & chemical weapons at protestors.

Your commitment means nothing to those who want to shoot you for expressing your 1st amendment rights. Somehow the pigs will survive a little paint on their clothes

PVC storage barrels cut in half. They are most useful when organized in a shoulder to shoulder line at the front, and less useful as individual protection in a fluid melee. Note also how the shield holders each have a helper behind them to strengthen the shield wall.

What do they do for handles/griping points?

I would splurge on replacement canoe handles from a sporting goods store, but I imagine a more economical solution exists.
