Shields For Infantry Invented By German Engineer
A German engineer named Schaumann reportedly developed a light metal shield that can render infantry nearly invulnerable to rifle bullets. Experiments at the Dahlem rifle range showed a six millimeter nickel steel plate resisted 85 yard volleys, while seven millimeter plates pierced. The newer composition plate, cheaper and lighter than nickel steel, is said to outperform it and has attracted interest from the Persion war minister and observers from the United States Russia and Austria.
