I would argue that rifles are more a tool for hunting than a shotgun. Germany wanted to ban shotguns (trench guns) the allies used in WWI because of their devastating effects.
Shotguns are also a good tool for hunting birds and whatnot. There are many places in the US where people hunt for cheap food.
Pistols aren't ideal for any kind of hunting though. They're almost exclusively for self defense (and the majority of guns used in homicides).
