Nesting doll shields

The Nesting Doll 001 ND Shield is a Dalmer Government Issue Gear Shield that is composed of four layers of shielding, each layer being designed for a corresponding layer of shielding. 
Similarly to nesting doll armor, at any time, the user can shed or add using an assembly/disassembly module the external layer of its shield to provide a more adapted protection to the current combat situation. 
== Layers ==
The nesting doll shield has several layers; the buckler, heater, turtle and wall shields. 
=== Buckler Shield ===
The Buckler Shield is a small shield designed to protect against melee attacks and limited gunfire attacks. Its dimensions are .15x.15x.001 meters and weighs 2 kg.
=== Heater Shield ===
The Heater Shield is a personal shield that provides individual protection. Its dimensions are 1x.5x.001 meters and weighs an average 8 kg.
=== Turtle Shield ===
The Turtle shield is designed for soldiers in a turtle formation where the defense of the fellow soldier is important to ensure victory. The Turtle Shield is generally 1.5x..50x.002 meters and weighed an average 15 kg.
=== Wall Shield ===
Designed for warriors in full power armor because of the shields immense weight and dimensions. 
The Wall Shield is usually 2x1.2x.15 meters and weighs roughly 30 kg.
== Technical Add ons ==
Through use of the assembly/disassembly module, the user can apply useful add-ons to the shield.
=== Stabilizer spike ===
A large metal spike with a screw end can be added to the shield in order to facilitate field implantation or to create makeshift bunkers. 
==== Field implantation ====
Soldiers can thrust the shield into the ground by deploying the shields stabiliser spike, holding it firmly into place. This allows the soldier to take cover behind the shield without risk of it falling over, useful when switching to a heavier weapon or reloading.
==== Makeshift Bunker ====
To protect assets or civilians while the soldiers deal with the immediate threat, three or four shields can be snapped together in a square or a circle to protect what's inside thanks to the stabiliser spike. 
=== Gun hole ===
An adaptable opening that allows the soldier to fire its weapon from the safety of its shield, this also allows the shield to act as a protective tripod for heavy weapons.
=== Visor ===
This flap reveals a clear visor made of highly transparent synthetic crystal to allow the user to fire from the Gun hole unhindered.
==== Night vision ====
The synthetic crystal can detect life forms in low light environments and limited night vision.
==== Clearshield ====
More recent versions of the ND 001 can be made completely transparent, but has been noted as being very disconcerting for soldiers when in turtle formations.
