Well, I'm going with the assumption that the medium pistol in BRP that does 1D8 is a 9mm, since a 9mm is a medium pistol. As would be a .45. If the 9mm does 1D10 in BRP (and I am only referring to BRP not the CoC 5th edition damages) then the SMG should do that for damage. SO basically I think the SMG should do about the same damage as a medium pistol.

You instead would have to use special metal shells, to prevent the heat of automatic fire from melting the plastic casing.

Yeah, the semi-makes the most sense. There are a few automatic shotguns, but they are a
lot rarer. THere is also a trick tyou can pull with some shotgguns where you can get a high rate of fire. I think there are some combat pump shotguns where if you hold down the trigger you can work the slide and keep firing shells.
The Atichisson, the good ol'd room broom. Not that anyone really wants to fire the thing on full auto anyway. It is really a 3-5 round burst weapon. Of course that means something like fifty "00 buck" pellets!
You could empty the magazine, but frankly if a 4 round burst doesn't drop what you are shooting at, the whole magazine won't either. The metallic cartridges probably are less likely to jam too. Not really a problem.
The thing would be a
beast in BRP. Imagine a bust of 20 rounds at 4D6 each? Even those COC beasties that take minimum damage from firearms might be in trouble.
