Considering the age of this post, I can't believe nobody has really hit on the most important reason why a Shell Deflector cannot be integrated into a Sight. Mechanically, it would be possible. But what it really boils down to is this-- Your shell deflector would become a Sight Deflector and we all know that would summon bad juju. There. Ya'll can thank me later, I'll be here all night.
