I am sad to report you are inaccurate in this regard. Whilst it is true that the
new Octium merely requires a lead shield, the combination of the lastest Nuclear
Shredder with the Octium requires an inverted uranium shield (best described as
a mini black hole)! However as you must be aware inverted uramiun shields are
hard to come by (the last one advertised on AetherBay sold for 600 octillion
galactic pieces).

I hope this clears the matter up for you. Caveat Emptor.
