Visit protofits.com; its summaries include weapon DPS for Shotguns.
The values are theoretical as they assume (1) 100% pellet delivery, (2) target within 5m and (3) do not account for -10% efficacy vs armor. That said, the values are still an excellent to compare Breach Shotguns against Standard Variants.
In short, Breach Shotguns will get you killed.
In Chromosome, you would've loved them.

Chrome to Uprising 1.0
1) HP pools skyrocketed; Breach SG damage did not follow.
2) Shotgun Range was nerfed by significant degree.
3) Shotgun Hit Detection worsened; has since improved but remains imperfect.
4) Fine Rifles offered better DPS with far fewer drawbacks.
Uprising 1.0 to 1.8
1) HP pools continue to climb; Breach SG damage has not followed.
2) Heavy Rotation Speed buffed; slow-to-fire now equals quick-to-die.
3) Shotgun Proficiency bonus to Rate of Fire was eliminated.
4) Damage Amps were nerfed, reducing OHK potential and anti-Heavy viability.

^ This. No way would I run a Breach Shotgun in PC.
Have you seen the price tag on that Allotek, BTW!?
Craziness :-)
Still fun to run a breach in pubs, kinda like a plasma cannon is fun for pubs.
Just hope for a lag-free match.

Oz has some good points ...
If you're deadset on using a Breach Shotgun, pretend that it's like a Flux Grenade.
Pop shields from behind and immediately switch to SMG / MagSec / Etc.
Seriously, though. Check out the DPS differences at www.protofits.com ...
The Breach Shotgun is very good at being worse than a regular Shotgun :-)
