i remember my great grandfather who fought for austria hungary had a picture with him showing one of such shields, captured from an italian post. he was some sort of a trench raider with small arms and short rifles, and although i'll never be sure, i heard that he later used it as a makeshift breastplate to cover himself from shrapnel, melee weapons, bullet ricochet or maybe even small arms.
Salute to your grandfather bruv. I don't think that they would have been useful against melee weapons, at least way less so than rifles. It's designed to block direct gunfire so if it's not useful doing that than it's only going to be marginally better doing other things. Interesting that they could be used as breastplates though, they look kinda big for that. Edit: did they have rigid exo-carriers back then? Or did they only use straps? Because they could have fully protected the carrier if they kneeled and turned sideways with it.

He carried a Kar98az which he got to keep after the war and I still have it today. I'm thinking he used some belts to strap that shield thing on his back, so a blow from rear as he was in enemy trench wouldn't knock him out. But honestly we will never know.
I can't remember, did they cover how advanced the Maginot line was? Like, despite being overly outflanked, it did do it's job. The Germans tried assaulting it a few times, and couldn't do it, even with days of artillery barrages and airstrikes

No, they just didn't know that fact. Why must you assume that he plays BF1, just because they don't know that fact? Yes, BF1 is extremely inaccurate on almost all accounts and only covers a few fronts, but you have to realize that WW1 is hardly taught in most school systems around the world. It's only covered briefly and the history curriculum doesn't usually dive into the more "obscure" stories. Especially in countries that weren't massively impacted by the Great War, like the U.S and most of Asia.
This love for shields continued to their modern counter terrorism unit GIGN as they are well known for their shield strategies during entries. As the short durstion nature of CQB, shields are very effective and provided much needed cover during moving
You know, I think the way the shields would be affective is that they can jam the shields into the dirt ground making a sort of wall where they can lay down and fire from
Bullshit why would someone slowly climb out his trench without cover run a meter than stop try to slam his shield into the ground so that it is stable and then wait behind little to no cover
rafaelomansan ofc cause but within the trenches und other covered locations and maybe sometimes during trench raids but these things did not prove effective or at least not effective enough to outclass the negatives

@@elflakeador09 they are too op and mock shields in gameplay. Now people are going to piggyback off of that as reasoning why shields aren't a good addition.
XD But for real now, there's large shields that you stick into the ground and use as cover, and there's breastplates/bulletproof vests that are TECHNICALLY body-held shields.
Y’know I wonder why nobody tried reducing the armor weight from the shoulders, back, sides, etc, and just concentrated it to a plate that could stop bullets. Like today’s plates.
Military General: Oh boy I wonder what we could do to reduce the weight of a shield whilst also increasing its protection... Hey science guys what do you got on stronger lightweight materials to protect our troops? Science guy: We got steel and steel, take your pick. Military General: Can't you like come up with something? Science guy: Uhhh... We can make the shield green with a cloth sack. Military General: You gotta be kidding...
I believe I can come up with useful tactics to use this piece of equipment effectively. Use short carbine rifles, SLRs or Automatico 1918s with the shield. Use the troops equipped with them for pure shock purposes. The troops would have many grenades equipped for trench busting. You could use them loosely in front of other troops directing enemy fire when not used for shock purposes/operations.
Or you could use a mobile shield with kanabo-like clubs. Your soldiers use the shield as a second pair of legs and launch themselves forward with ferocity. The shield has a chest saddle so you can rest your weight over it without having to strain yourself holding it. Once they puncture the enemy's line the troops then swarm raid the enemy like a Mongol horde. You can possibly train dogs to stay behind the shield and then run out and help maul the enemy when they're close. You do this by concentrating all your troops on a single weakly defended section of the enemy and charge forward with a freight train of soldiers each having the inertia of a galloping horse, and then after your army thunders their way through the enemy lines, they diverge or turn the stream toward the enemy on the sides. The personell will form a 270° shield wall, with the soldiers in front pointing their shields forward and, the personell on the sides pointing their shields sideways(the carriers have 4 wheels), with the attack dogs in the middle. You can send multiple streams in multiple sections in various orders, constantly making yourself unpredictable to the enemy. Once the enemy line is decimated, turn to the next objective and commit to another bullcharge. If your going to shock the enemy, do it right.

WW1 generals, "This is the modern age, we have machine guns, tanks, and whatnot!" also them, "Let's give them fucking shields and clubs and chainmail armor.'
Yeah but all of those aren't useful when it's infantry vs infantry. Tanks would be countered by other tanks. Artillery by other artillery. Machine guns could be countered by... Machine shields?? :O
One thing I know is that if you hold it horizontally your arm would get tired very fast but if you held it vertically you can carry it much longer anold with added mobility
If you carried it on both arms, it would be easy to move. And instead of a firearm, you could have attached or welded a polearm on the top of it. Whenever you need to strike, you hold it to your hip, then you hold the upper handle, and the lower handle to form an easy powerful downward diagonal strike. If you have you right hand on the upper handle, you put your right hip forward and vice versa. And keep edge alignment.
OkAy here’s the real question! Simple history what’s your favorite video that you guys have made so far? Also great videos it’s always cool to watch these for I haven’t heard of some of these stories and equipment
Those special ops are a different story, I’m talking about the average soldier, because right now they carry approximately 60 pounds of gear on their body, adding a shield will just add more weight

@@Einherie Infantrymen aren't cannonfodder. 5 deaths is looked at as a big deal nowadays. Just look at how much people get mad over the deaths of Rangers in Somalia and Panama and then compare Panamanian and Somalian casaulties. Also to people saying spec ops use shields, FSB use Vant shields but those are Russian CTs. CTs and spec ops aren't the same. Green Berets don't use shields as far as I'm aware.
Even today, body armor/vests are usually only able to absorb small caliber guns, such as pistols, and larger caliber guns only at significant distance. Even then, the blunt force of the bullet will still (at the very least) bruise you.
There should be extra thick placeable shields, half an inch thick or more. That you can ram into the ground and put 2 feet out the back like a bipod. Portable cover of sorts. Not meant to be carried around constantly like in this video. But like a machine gun, set-up able, and usefull in a pinch against small arms and some shrapnel. Thoughts?
Simple History I think a good video idea is Why did he concept of darts firing from pressured plates and in temples? Like if you agree or is this too confusing?
The problem was it wasn't round.
It wasn't painted like a giant target.
And it wasn't given to Captain America
true.
Nor could it be thrown like a frisbee
Ikr??
and it was not made of a made up marvel universe metal either.
And it wasn't made out of vibranium
It reduces 3% of projectile damage and slows you by 20%. I got it.
It reduces your ballistic skill by 20% as well. Melee hit chance and is unaffected.
No damage mitigation from flank or rear
Your melee defense increases though.
It does give you blast damage resistance though
Shields in Savage worlds only apply to the front and the flank of the shield.
I love how experimental everyone was during WW1, they just kinda tried out every idea they had to see what worked.
They barely half assed it then quit if it didn't work half assed.
It was a new type of war that nobody was prepared for back then, so you have to innovate wherever you can to get the upper hand on your enemy.
The number of likes is perfect, no one ruin it please.
