Scatter Weapon Quality and Weapon Abilities

[Hendelbolaf]

If a firearm with the scatter weapon quality has an ability like Flaming on it, does it do the additional 1d6 of fire damage to everyone within the area of effect that it hits?

I am assuming the answer is yes, but as firearms are a little different and I finally opened Pandora's Box by allowing them, I wanted to know what the official ruling is on this.

I see no specific exception to the general rule, so I'd say the general rule holds; if you hit the target, you roll weapon damage plus Flaming. By contrast, if you had the Stalking ability on the firearm, you'd lose the extra damage on a Scatter attack because the bonus damage from Stalking is precision damage.
