I'm not sure where you're getting this from, but I'm fairly
certain it's not true. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't nornal
scattershot use flechette rules? If that is the case, then that damage
code is for normal scattershot, which would mean that scatter rules are
used.
It would also mean that the weapon's base code is 9M when firing
slugs (which makes sense, it being a heavy pistol). Thus, like any other
heavy pistol or shotgun, it could be loaded with a variety of slugs. You
could even get creative and alternate them (scattershot, explosive,
scattershot, etc.).

See above.
