Are you asking in terms of Life points?
In terms of life points I'm estimating about 250%. Just because it takes about that much damage as your life meter. To test it you can sit with a friend on multiplayer and shoot at him. Count how much ammo it takes for just the shields. Then down the shields and see how much it takes with just health. Divide the results :) Happy math hunting!

Ok, maybe I wasn't clear.
Take an assault rifle. Fire at a friend until his shield is down. Count the number of bullets it took. Now, do the same thing again, except this time kill him. Count the number of bullets it took to kill him.
Now subtract your original number (the shield) from the new one, divide the number it took to take down the shields by the number you just got from the difference, and you have your percentage.
