I should have made it clear. I meant when you got 4 aliens 1/2 second away from melee range it helps to have a shotgun knock 2 of them off quickly so the squad takes less damage.
I suppose NS fights are all about the aliens trying to find ways to get close to the marines with enough numbers to wipe them out by using ambushes, and other clever tactics. The marines of course want the aliens to have as much distance to cover so they can thin them out, or knock them out at long range.
