Some weapons allow you to shoot both profiles at the same time, with a -1 to hit modifier. So I am guessing in overwatch this would never be feasible correct? If you roll a 6 and then -1 modify it, you missed the shot ?

Nope, overwatch always hits on a 6, regardless of modifiers.

Page 182 of main rulebook - "Overwatch is resolved like a normal shooting attack (albeit one resolved in the enemy's Charge phase) and uses all normal rules except that a 6 is always required for a successful hit roll, irrespective of the firing model's Ballistic Skill or any modifiers."

AHHHH very nice, yes I must have overlooked that. I appreciate the response.
