You can snipe just fine with a claymore, if you can't, well you need to practice more headshots. Maybe not across an entire map, but it's pretty damn close and for most maps it's you don't need sniper range.
I agree that most maps do not require sniper rifle range. That is not problem of shotguns or pistols, that is a design problem. BioWare obviously can't make big maps thanks to wonderful xbox and ps3 consoles. Yay.

I will agree that if you miss with the claymore it's quite a big drawback. However, with the accuracy choke it's pretty damn hard to miss. Which gets rid of the drawback for all the weapon's perks...which is again my point.
It is hard to miss because the pellet spread is tighter. Yes, that makes a lot of sense lol.
Slowish RoF + super long reload make Claymore really slow firing weapon. If you miss, your DPS sinks low and you are not going to be dealing any damage for a few seconds. If you hit, you still can't do anything for at least 2 seconds assuming you can Reload Cancel perfectly.
That is a drawback you cannot refute.
Weight is also a factor on most classes and builds.

But no one cares about using logic, just seeing their precious weapon being discussed about possible being changed suddenly gets all their panties in a bunch.
Except for the fact that you have yet to use logic.
