If you mean the shotgun is not a combat weapon, I think there are quite a few gunslingers fighting in various parts of the world as we speak that would disagree with you.

If you mean it's not a compact weapon, they are not usually any less compact than a full-length AR15, AK47, or AK74.

I've never heard of a "combact" rifle before, but it sounds great. I want one.

For "close combat", I think there are quite a few shotguns that would be well suited for that job if you mean the fighting is going to happen within 50 yards. Even at very close range firing one devestating shot could be just as good as half a dozen small rifle rounds.
