The British rifle shields have no online testing that I am aware of, period documentation stated it was proof against rifle fire to 400 yards. It was also noted that the shields bogged down in rough, muddy terrain and their use was discontinued in 1915.

If you can find any other sources I would love to see them!
I watch the hell out of that channel
