OK, on the SW armoury page it states that common items that are classed as common between both books are marked in italics in the list. The shotgun is not on the armoury list and is not in italics on the page. The next line where it refers to the summary is in relation to items listed on that page and in italics, again the shotgun is not in italics.
Hence, the GW precedent which has been mentioned in other places as well, not just the DA FAQ quoted above, states that if an item has a stat line in the relevant codex, in this case the SW codex, then this takes precedent over the SM book or parent codex. As the shotgun has a stat line in the summary in the SW book then this takes precedent.
As to the GW Rules Reply team - they are notorious for giving different answers that at times disagree with their own FAQs.
Due to the above then unfortunately the SW shotgun will remain the same. If the shotgun was listed in the armoury in italics then you would have a point, unfortunately, as noted, it doesn't. This is yet another case of GW not doing their job properly
thanks
