Prom the above experiments it would appear that Nos. 4, 5, 6 mantelets 
are the only ones which afford protection at close quarters, neither of them 
under 100 yds. range. No. 4 being the best, and affording protection at 100 
yds.; Nos. 5 and 6 affording protection at 200yds., but not under; No, 56 
not always at that distance; Nos. 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, no protection at 
300 yds.
