Even bump stock operation was not outlawed in the past because it was not considered a fully automatic operation.

Yes, a shotgun IS useful to a limited extent in close quarters-type military situations. But, it is NOT the STANDARD issue for the majority of Army troops. And shotguns are very useful to Police.
