I am starting to consider the shotgun my 2nd favorite weapon next to the assault rifle, for the sole purpose that having a shotgun is my insured way of rubbing out 10-20 people a match, insuring me a good 20k-30k of sp. 
And all this from solely using the Militia Shotgun. 1 shot or 2 shot, the joy of sprinting a player, dodging assault rifle rounds (save for the most skilled aimers, or well leveled and well equipped, a rarity for me), and BLAM, melting their face with my spread shot, it warms the cockles of my mercenary heart.  Snipers, HAH, don't stand a chance once I spotted them. Only the Heavies can be the only ones to say they can best (by virtue of their high armor, which even to this day, I still think they don't have enough HP in them).
Still, I am adoring the shotgun as the alternate assault weapon, especially in the close quarter matches inside the middle fortresses of some maps. I am almost tempted to think it is the most overpowered thing next to tanks, hahahahahahaha.
Have any of you have been swayed by the sweetness that IS, the CRG-3 Plasma Shotgun? |

Eh, only at close ranges. Anything beyond 5 meters, and the shotgun becomes useless. I've had skilled assault players kite me effectively, keeping their distance where the assault rifles are deadliest.
In many ways, shotguns hold a true spirit of Gallente martial prowess, short range with insane firepower unmatched by other Empire weapons (we like our fights close and personal, hehehehe). |

Because there's so many people in Dust that are stupid enough to get close to a person with a shotgun? I can't tell you how many times I've had a player charge at me when he had an assault rifle. :-/ If they get within the shotgun's severely short range, they deserve to die.
Exactly! Rock Concert Movement Number 44: If you see a shotgun, KEEP YOUR DISTANCE, otherwise, your gonna have a baaad time.  |
