The difference

Riot shield is used for crowd control and protects the user from incoming projectiles such as bricks, the whole shield was made transparent to make the wielder see more incoming projectils thrown atthem

While the ballistic is more frequent use with SWAT units it is use to clear room and protect the wielder from low calibers and shotgun shells
