Goa'uld personal defense shield

From The Stargate Omnipedia

Shieldpersonal.jpg

Shield of energy used by many Goa'uld System Lords for personal defense. Personal defense shields are presumably smaller versions of standard Goa'uld force shields, which operate on an oscillating frequency principle.

The strength of a personal defense shield is directly proportional to the amount of kinetic energy directed at it. Bullets and blasts from energy weapons are therefore stopped, while slower-moving weapons (such as a thrown knife) can pass through.
