Look at a Bolt Gun. If it's .75cal then how many rounds will fit in 
the magazine? Big round fired from a short barrel, low ammo capacity. 
So that's low accuracy _and_ low rate of fire. Make it FP1. 

HE round which if I remember my WH bumpf correctly is designed to 
explode after penetrating the body (so definitely not HEAT, etc.). 
That doesn't fit well with SGII where penetration and damage 
potential are combined into the single Impact value. So compromise 
and give it a medium I value: D10. Or give it D12 but give armoured 
targets a die shift to their armour die.
