CCP, is it possible for players to design new racial weapons for the ones that are still not here yet?
If so then I would like to introduce a minmitar and gallente sniper rifle. (Currently designing them right now.)

I did a great big huge breakdown on why snipers fit neither race a while ago. Racial parity does not need to exist for every tiny nuance of weaponry. Yes these races should have long range weapons, they do not need to be sniper rifles.
Pistol
SMG
Rifle
AV
Heavy AV
Heavy AI
[specialist light]
[long range light]
[short range light]
Is about the only parity that's needed among infantry roles.

Make sure you have a contract written up so when CCP sells a Blueprint of the weopon you can get 5% royalties of all aurum sales

TBH, I always pictured the Minmatar shotgun being more like a hunting shotgun with bird/buckshot rather than the sawnoff gangbanger assassins weapon the gallente currently have.
I also thought it would be cool if the Minmatar Sniper Rifle would just be their Shotgun loaded with slugs rather than shot.

A minmatar shotgun is probably the only reasonable thing for CCP to attempt to add to Dust at this point. By reasonable, I mean easiest to rig up, if at all possible.
Why?
Because, IRL, there are grenade launcher cartridges which fire buckshot.
Remember, it's a mass driver, not a grenade driver.

As a Minmatar, I am happy to reuse any weapons salvaged from dead Caldari.... Or from dead Amarrians.

I think a Matari shotgun would more closely resemble a shotgun shell duct taped to the end of a stick... Need more range? Use a longer stick.

This is much better of an idea. Gallente would end up making a variation of the sniper and using that within the marines, or use their own solution when it comes to long range, just like they do with rails and drones in EVE.

Drones prettymuch are the gallente solution to long range. Even though both the caldari and the gallente use hybrids in eve, gallente rails are like 40km on battleships, drones can be used out to like 100 (depending on drone & modules) while still hitting at full damage (sans travel time). Caldari rail ships are like 100-150km or further and their missiles can go anywhere from 20-40km for 'short range' torpedos, to 100km light missiles (on the right boat) or 100-200km for 'medium' missiles or even ~200km-250km for cruise missiles.
