I read this to mean that you're firing the template through a unit at a target that is out of range of the template (since the template is ~8") If that's the case, then you can't do that as at the start of the Shooting Phase section of the rule book, it points out that weapons that are out of range auto-miss and cannon shoot (page 30 of the dead tree version of the rule book)
