[gurps] Possible HT4ed Shotgun Erratta

[Cybrludite]

Howdy, y'all. Long time, no type! Been fiddling w/ the
multiple projectile rules in the new High Tech, and
found some oddities. The 1d+1 pi listed in the tables
is for 00 buckshot, with slugs being 5d pi++.
Converting back using the  MP rules on pp 172-3 & the
damage conversion box on p 166, 9 projectiles from a
5d weapon is 5*.33=1.65 which works out to 2d-1 pi.
Also, if we go by the rules for solid ammo on p166,
slugs for 20ga smokeless powder shotguns are going to
be 5d pi++ as well. Using the close range rules from
Basic p409, minus the DR multiplication, gives better results.
