You just said shotguns ate too long ranged in this game? Stand 20 feet from my and let me pop you with one. Guarantee you I hit. In this game I can barely shotty at 10 feet. If anything the game has a shorter range than real life. Rockets go boom. If your near them you die. Snipers are instant deaths. If you lame enough to be hit by one. You die. Hand cannons are cannons for the hand. A couple hits from them, you die. Simple as that.
