The rifle rounds take more materials, and the GURPS weight per shot and cost per shot give you a rough approximation of that.

Very good.
So it's more probable that any economical ammunition used for self-defence by farmers and slave overseers would be black powder. Maybe a version of the Mauser was made in a suitable caliber.
In any case, the crew of a world-scouting zeppelin would be an elite unit of high importance to the Antaractic Space Nazis and consequently carrying the most advanced weaponry they could give them. Which, even two generations into the New Reich, is most likely WWII vintage.
