Fired an AK-47 indoors once. Just one shot. Was stunningly loud. As in it stunned me a moment or two. My hearing was effected in a manner very much like the sound effect used at the beginning of "Saving Private Ryan" during the beach landing. You can hear, but it is swimmy and muffled. Things seem distant because of it.

I would think a shotgun would be a good deal louder.
Indoors that may be enough to stun most people at least for a few seconds. Can only be worse on the other end of the barrel too.
