And the logic behind using "copper" shields is b/c it's heavier than bronze/steel? Even tho' something else might be "harder"?* (I'm guessing a silver or platinum shield would be optimal, but not normally possible to produce - ?)

(* Refer: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Weapon#Material )

Basically, steel is slightly better, but if you don't have steel coming out your ears, the difference between copper and steel in a bash is minimal, and you should save your steel for more important things like chain shirts.
