The cubemap issue requires external map data to reflect properly.

"Many reflective materials must be combined with external data so that the Source engine can correctly generate their appearance. In other words, a cubemap creates the textures that a reflective surface will be reflecting."

So without a cubemap in the .bsp file, it will just reflect the shotgun. Not a problem, and making cubemaps are a bit time consuming.
