Maybe for you that is the case, but not for me. My choices would be 1) shotgun/00 buck, 2) .45 ACP. I'd rather make big holes in the BG than small ones. Each of the 8 or 9 pellets from the SG is going to make twice as big a hole as the .223.
I prefer having a precision shot capability. Although I've had impressive pattern results with Flight Control 00 ammo in my shotgun, Single precision shot capability is still preferred for me.

Overall though, the carbine does just about everything better than the shotgun. Recoil, flash, ammo capacity, penetration, ease of reload if necessary, penetration, and ease of accessories are all better on the carbine than the Shotgun.

The one area where the Shotgun is probably better is punching through auto glass. But that remote possibility doesn't outweigh every other area where the carbine completely outperforms the shotgun.
