Keeping a 12 guage minigun on each arm sounds pretty heavy, and they will  be hungry for ammo. The pellet spread on shotguns has been greatly exagerated by media. They're actually pretty accurate when fired from a full-length barrel with a choke on it. Besides, just being hit with a few pellets isn't necesarrily going to kill a person or a Grimm. When dealing with a large number of enemies, a stream of sustained fire is better; the pellet spread helps but only goes so far. They are indeed quite heavy, which is why he only wears them when he's using them. When inactive, they're carried on his back. Plus hauling that weight around means he's strong as hell even unarmed, he can throw a damned fine punch even without weapons equipped.
