For every template they score d3 hits. 2 templtes 2 d3.

No when firing a template weapon, they get D3 hits. It doesn't matter how many shots the weapon gets, it still only gets D3 hits in Overwatch.

For every template *weapon*.

I would have to agree, it's only D3 per template weapon. Template weapons do not use the standard overwatch rules at all, they follow their own. And their own rules say "D3 auto hits" and nothing more. Hey, be glad you GET auto-hits.

Nah, just glanced to death

"if a template weapon fires overwatch, it automatically inflicts d3 hits..." PG52

"Some shooting weapons fire multiple shots. where this is the case, the number of shots a weapon fires is noted after its type." pg50

The frag cannon fires 2 times. Therefore it "fires overwatch" 2 times, just as a rapid fire weapon, or an assault 2 weapon would, resulting in 2d3 hits for the frag cannon.

How many weapons do you have? One. Therefore the template weapon fires D3

Yeah, looks like RAW is that Wall of Death is D3 hits per Template weapon, not per shot.

Note that HWYPI in my case is 2D3 auto-hits, but it is not RAW.

Nowhere in the wall of death rule does it say what you claim it says. It does not limit it to d3 hits per weapon. All it says is when "a template weapon fires Overwatch, it automatically inflicts d3 hits on the charging unit." The Frag Cannon fires Overwatch twice since it is an assault 2 weapon. Just like a Heavy Bolter fires Overwatch 3 times because it is a Heavy 3.

Incorrect. A weapon fires Overwatch once, with a number of shots based on assault / rapid fire / template.

A weapon fires Overwatch once. You then follow the weapon rules to determine the number of shots.

I forget 1 little 2 letter word and the entire meaning of my sentence is lost...my Frag Cannon fires in Overwatch twice. During the Overwatch resolution my Frag Cannon gets to fire twice. When firing Overwatch my Frag Cannon fires 2 times like a normal shooting attack.

No, your Frag Cannon does not follow the normal rules for shooting attacks. It's a template weapon and therefore cannot fire during Overwatch.
Using the Wall of Death rule, a template weapon gets 1d3 hits. There's no sentence regarding multiple shots.

No, it fires as a Template WEapon, following the WoD rules, meaning it gives D3 hits

THat is RAW, but is not HIWPI
