Would say the haymaker second favourite shotgun but does lack damage/time to kill.
Best advice is sound whore perks, bait people into close range and abuse specialists also use a pistol.
Can get 4 shotgun kills 1 pistol kill and one shotgun kill challenge counts towards it
Specialists offer some extra survivability can be helpful with shotguns
Kinetic armour - Extra health is useful when using a shotgun just need to learn when to use it. Super helpful gotten 10+ killstreaks using it with just a pistol.
Rejack - 5 kills are required don't need the medal to pop the challenge. Can get 3 kills rejack get another 2 challenge is done. Again timing but can be useful for the KRM this one helped me the most given how when I did thing just gave me hitmarkers.
Heatwave - Giant stun nade allowing you to jump over people and kill them using a shotgun or avoid certain fights.
Psychosis - Learning how to use it is required but can help you get out of tight spots.
Glitch - Get behind people on a killstreak but need to learn how it works.
Haymaker is pretty good if you jump and slide
As for attachments
Long barrel
Extended mags
Fast mags
Can even use C4 to alert you when people get to close, stuns and shock charges very useful in giving you that extra second to somebody.
Shotguns was my first diamond class
If you want me to explain it further let me know
