Yes, the future of shotguns is insane, but no, it has no connection to FPV drones. Using shotguns vs FPVs is just as "practical" as using shotguns to shoot out grenades from mid air in WWI ie great news story to make more boys join, but having ZERO connection to reality.
The real future of shotguns is connected to them having high caliber, low velocity, low shock on projectile contents and being smoothbores. That always made them ideal for specialist munitions, similar to grenade launchers, mortars and howitzers in their respective weight classes. And what all those have? That's right, airburst, guided and rocket assisted two stage projectiles. Sometimes all at the same time. The future of shotgun is to adopt those techs and become bolter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
