I think the older rules (2nd Ed and Necromunda) do the best justice to shotguns, but if you start getting into short/long range for shotguns, you'd have to do it for everything. That said, I am all for Imperial Guard being able to buy Man Stopper shells for a nominal fee, and get at least S4. I honestly don't like shotguns having a different profile in different armies. It's dumb, since for example a bolt weapon is a bolt weapon is a bolt weapon, despite all the fluff about how much larger a space marine's bolter or bolt pistol is than an unaugmented human's.
