Haha I hate it when people use the G18 akimbos. In my opinion, they take no skill, or at least most of my deaths from them are just spray-n-pray kills.
An example of a situation in which I like a shotgun better is spawn killing at the A flag on domination on terminal. If you have a SPAS-12 with extended mags, and a few people covering your back, you can completely destroy their team with just a few shots.
I see what you're saying though, and I like both of them about the same, I just slightly prefer the shotgun more than pistols. My preference is also difference depending on what my primary weapon is. If I'm sniping, then I almost always go with the akimbo USPs or Rafficas
