It's not as important, but shotguns are a lot more accurate and have considerably tighter spreads than most people think, (accuracy is more immportant than you think). LOOKING AT YOU DESTINY! Infuriating video game conventions aside, there's a reason why most shotguns have nice and long barrels. They keep the pellets in a tighter spread, which increases effective range. You can hurt badly someone out to 10 yards with a shotgun optimized for range. This on the other hand? it'sgoing to have a very short range, and do f- all to most grimm unless you shove it down their throats.

Shotguns are also considerably weaker than most think, especialy against armor. A slug might be effective, but shot does very little to inconvenience proper armor.
