Well, they ARE more-or-less the modern-day tower shield... not to mention the only kind of portable shield used these days, but that's beside the point.

Eh. In the end I guess it'll depend on what works best for the weapon design. I know that I'm combining this thing with a bazooka, so I don't want the grip getting in the way while it's on the shoulder, but I also need to make the shield grip somehow work with the cylindrical main body of a portable cannon.
