Actually, Auto-Shotguns (Like the H&K CAWS -
http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Firearms/Shotguns/HK_CAWS.htm)
are also designed to make the mech-infantrymans life hell by AP rounds -
when they hit they cause a chemical reaction with the armor of APC's. For example, when we were using CAWS's in training and we had to take a tango
APC, we'd rake the vechile with AP rounds from the CAWS; shooting in 3 to 5 round bursts, but it would eat up the mag of 10 VERY quickly.
The other problem we expierenced with them was of course the recoil. Thats why wed do 3 to 5 round bursts. You aim at the lowest point, quickly
squeeze, and sweep It also works like a charm for clearing rooms (as stated previously) --- if you can control the recoil.
Full auto-shotguns rock..

But there are much better way to put 240 rounds down range. Much better
For downrange, yeah, just about anything else is needed. I think the shotgun was more designed for room clearing, and more in-your-face encounters.
That is only speculation though.
