Same assumptions as in RQ3 I think.

I.e. Buckler= Small, Target/Heater is Medium, Hoplite/Kite/Viking is large. and most people are going to be close enough to human size not to worry. Giants after all don't normally worry about Shields [Just armoured boots.]

Main difference is the number of locations you can cover against missile fire. i.e. Arm/Arm+1/Arm+2 Contiguous.
