Ah, I see Joker.

AC, shotguns can fire just as far as any other weapon, technically. They're just crap accuracy at farther ranges. And that 'several hundred feet' you mention was probably when they were fighting the Nevermore in Initiation, and Yang didn't have to worry about accuracy because the enemy was so large. If you notice, her shots were not precise at all and went everywhere, only hitting the Nevermore because of the sheer size of it.
