6) Sporting Shotgun
Another confusing term, as most shotguns are sporting weapons. There are a handful of combat and assault shotguns, but 98%+ are sporting weapons. A term like pump action shotgun would be better. STR min should be slightly lower than a double barreled shotgun.

7) Automatic Shotgun
Should be clarified if this is actually a automatic (i.e. burst fire capable) shotgun or an autoloading (semi-automatic) shotgun. STR min should be a little lower than the double barreled for a semi auto weapon, and a little higher for a fully automatic shotgun.
Except for #1, I like the suggestions. For #1, it really should remain 1D10. The standard submachine gun is 9mm, right? According to existing source material that is 1D10.

On #6 pump would definitely make better sense in this description.

For #7 Semi-Automatic makes sense. Just how many shotguns are automatic? I've heard of the Atchison Assault Shotgun, I've also read that it wouldn't work with standard shotgun shells when using the 20-round drum and automatic fire. You instead would have to use special metal shells, to prevent the heat of automatic fire from melting the plastic casing.
