I didn't say that shotguns haven't always been combat weapons. I said they haven't really been viewed as combat weapons until recent decades (1960's onwards, primarily). They are forbidden by the Geneva Convention (that the United States never signed). German patrols in France in WW2 used to have one shotgunner. To shoot the pigeons they saw in case they were carrier pigeons.
