This is intended as constructive criticism. While you have a lot of weapon catergories there, some of them don't make sense or could be termed better.

Single Handed SMG –better termed a “Machine Pistol”

Single-use Flamer –what is this? If it is an aerosol can and a lighter the price seems rather high.

Civilian MG –basically an Oxymoron there. I can think of only one weapon that might be classed as this –it hasn’t been made since the 1920s and is probably better termed an automatic rifle.

Civilian Missile Launcher –not sure they even allow those in texas!

Civilian Grenade Launcher –guess you could argue that a Police Riot gas launcher would fit this catergory, but it would be  non-lethal weapon and of limited use against zombies.

Civilian/Military Shotgun. Most military or police shotguns are effectively civilian weapons. A better term here may be to distinguish between magazine shotguns (pumps and autos and the few designs actually purpose built for combat) and non-magazine hunting guns –Single barrel or double barrels.

Single-handed shotgun –better termed “Sawn-off shotgun”

Civilian Flamethrower –(!!!) If this is what I think it is you may be better designating it a improvised or homemade flamethrower.

Two handed Military CC Weapon. Military CC weapons tend to be bayonets, riot batons, machetes and entrenching tools, none of which are really true two-handed weapons.

Two-handed Military pistol. Again, a rather Oxymorinic term. The few pistols I can think of that could arguably be considered two-handed are not military weapons.

Powder Charge. Probably better termed an explosive charge or demolition charge. Powder has tones of "Black Powder" which is unlikely to have S4 damage unless we are dealing with barrels of it.

Weapon categories missing:-
Pistol calibre carbines –this would include semi-auto versions of submachine guns as owned by many civilians and used by some police departments. Would also include various level action carbines commonly used for hunting, cowboy action shooting etc.

Small bore hunting rifle. Ie, the ubiquitous 22.

Assault Pistol. Not as common as they once were I suppose. Semi-auto machine pistol type weapons such as the infamous Tec-9.
