Did your squad mates also experience the issue? No
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? About 7 or so.

How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)

What happens when the bug occurs? The Mastiff shotgun keeps shooting on its own without any input from me.
What should be happening instead? Mastiff should not be firiing and I should be able to reload without firing off a shot as soon as a shell is loaded in.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try using the Mastiff a lot I suppose. Not sure how it was triggered.
I unfortunately don't have any footage, but I was about to use the Mastiff shotgun that I got from an air drop when it started firing on its own and even if I switched to a different weapon and switched back it kept doing. I tried reloading, but as soon as 1 shot was loaded it would fire. No other weapons did this. I have encounterd this bug once so far.
