The main reason people get it is for the underbarrel attachments. Ammo types are nice, but the default is usually still better since it has better base stats. For underbarrels, hardly anyone goes for the shotgun since its not always a one-hit kill and has a slow reload after each shot.

The Grenade launcher is more commonly used since the long reload isn't too important at range, and the kill radius is pretty large.

The smoke launcher is what I personally use, since its great for teamplay when your outfit has NV scopes. The smoke however won't net you very many points which becomes frustrating. You won't have time generally to switch to your primary and get a kill, because by that time, the smoke will have mostly dissapated.
