Using tools manufactured ONLY by corporations originated in on of the four major empires IS a role playing choice.
(and not even a well reasoned one as: 1. Mercs want to win at any cost and are 'international' 2. Hardly any Eve NPC corporation is limited to it's original empire, example: Even Imperial Armaments have factories in Minmatar space)
It's not a role-playing choice. It's an acknowledgement of something that CCP has fundamentally missed. Each race's suits will have been optimised for that race's weaponry. To think otherwise is ridiculous. CCP has dropped the ball in not making this game correct and reasonable. From the underlined part of your post, we entered the world of imagination, speculating in background lore. Therefore, role-play. In that world, I can't prove you wrong and you can't prove me wrong. It is no use to argue, for either of us.
That's not strictly true Alena.
It is a choice and it is a choice my Dust 514 corporation the Praetoriani Classiarii Templares as well as the greater alliance PIE Inc chooses to make. That choice being that we only make of Amarrian dropsuits and weapons except when no such other examples of that dropsuit or weapon exist. Moreover we do not wear any SKIN that represent a faction other that the Amarr Empire or one of its Heir Houses.
This extends to and is especially important when considering the inclusion of Blood Raider suits in Dust 514 being available to Amarr Dropsuits.
For example- PCLAS players are not allowed to wear Caldari, Minmatar, or Gallentean Dropsuits. They are encouraged to use Scrambler Rifles and Laser Rifles as primary weapons and Scrambler Pistols as secondary weapons though they are allowed to use the following: Swarm Launchers, Heavy Machineguns, Magsec SMG, and other weapon examples that are not present in the Amarrian line up that confer a tactical edge.
We also employ both Shield and Armour Vehicles because that present no such Amarr vehicles exist.
While this may seem like unnecessary handicaps I find them to be the opposite. In doing so we've proved in FW over the past 2.5 years that we are very capable of being overwhelmingly dominant and competitive using a small assortment of assets.

So what is a Caldari fighter to do to counter all these ridiculous tactics? Other than leave, that is...
There is an obvious middle ground solution: In order to fight best for your chosen faction, use the best and right tools for every situation. Be flexible. Use the whole spectrum of the gear available. (practical hint: flaylock is very good against scouts, extremely good vs fast / heavily damped ones) Again, you've missed the central point of my post. I'm trying to find the best ways to use CALDARI weapons against the other races. It appears that even from CCP, there is no answer to this. Because you are asking the wrong question. But I'm gonna answer it anyways: Use flaylock to counter the mentioned shotgun scouts. It is a rocket, a sort of missile. In space Caldaris are one of those who specialise in them. Yes, but the flaylock is NOT a Caldari weapon, and I'm not training it. I don't know how many times I have to repeat this. It's OK for you to think that's ridiculous but it's a given, so there's no point in continually saying this weapon or that weapon or whatever equipment, if it's not Caldari.
The only advice I can give to you as a long time player and as an HAV pilot who will never get their racial HAV.
Get over it because we aren't getting additional content no matter how much we want it. Since you are only using Caldari Gear your only options are to develop a better situational awareness or fit your suits in attempt to catch shotgunners on radar before they can take advantage of their close range. Perhaps practice more with Magsec SMGs.
They're supposed to have great RoF and DPS equal to a Rail Rifle.
