How about testing the water, think through what would happen if a war walker were equipped with a serpent shield.

Hello Bara, didn't think you did 40k any more (ruffian4/jubilex).

Don't some Tau Signature system say they work during your shooting phase, and then specifiably exclude overwatch?

The problem is that almost every reference to shooting weapons call out the shooting phase.

For example
Monstrous Creatures can fire up to two of their weapons each Shooting phase...
...if a model has more than one Shooting weapon, he must choose which one to shoot - he cannot fire both in the same Shooting phase.
A model with a multi-tracker can fire an additional weapon in each Shooting phase.

That means if we take "Shooting phase" to mean only the Shooting phase, then a 10-man Tac squad can fire 10 bolters, 10 bolt pistols and throw 10 grenades during overwatch, as the restrictions on those only apply to the shooting phase.
