Yeah, but shotguns aren't really long-range weapons.
None of the others are that ideal either though. Crossbows are better at long range, but have sucky defense due to reloading times. Shotguns are faster, easier, and more effective than most of the other weapons, and require less training. It can be used defensively with great ease but even as an offensive weapon it still does well because it has a greater range than more of the other weapons. The fact that the range is somewhat greater is what I was thinking of when I said long-range. If there was the assault rifle option, I would have gone for that.
The pattern stays fairly tight out to about twenty-five yards, depending on barrel length and what kind of ammunition you use, which is better range then most of those weapons. If you use a rifled slug effective range is one hundred yards, more or less.
