You can't compare competitive modes to pub anyway since there isn't a lot of gun variety in competitive gaming anyway. People generally will pick the 3 most popular guns whether they are the best or not. Then if someone finds an underrated gun, it will be the new popular gun. Hell in competitive gaming any gun not named PDW, MSMC, M8A1 or maybe FAL is going to be underrated. I'm not hating on competitve gaming but it features the least amount of gun variety anyway.
Competitve gaming campers are harder to stop than pub campers as well. I'm sure you can get 50+ kill games even if people are camping in public.
Sure really good players can get 2 or even 3 kdr with shotguns or even a pistol but the average player isn't really good and putting a weapon with limitations like shotguns have aren't going to do them any favors especially since they probably won't avoid areas where they don't have an edge in the gunfight.
