It seems that everyone i know on this game including myself never uses the shotgun. The reason is that it is difficult to kill with, so people use other guns instead. In my opinion it needs a better rate of fire or should inflict more damage. People would use it more often and the game would be even more tactical. Personally, i would make the shotgun have a very short range -maybe 5-10 meters. And, if possible, a blast from the weapon at point blank range would be a 1 shot kill. I would keep the shotun's rate of fire as is or make it slower in order to give it a dis-advantage in some senarios. The range would be 5-6 meters or less, but each shot from it would be extremely powerful. A blast from it at point-blank range would be a 1 shot kill. In short, when you use the shotgun, it is good for close quarters combat, is very powerful, but has a short range and slow rate of fire. I think such adjustments would make this weapon a more useful tool in the game and more fun to use, but also have its dis-advantages.
