The Shotgun is the weapon you start with. It is not very powerful but remains useful throughout the singleplayer campaign for hitting monsters (such as Scrags) at long range, when a slow-moving projectile won't do. For close-range combat its use is completely eclipsed once you pick up the Double-Barrelled Shotgun, which is more efficient in both damage over time and damage per shell used (but has a wider spread).
The term boomstick is likely a reference to the 1982 movie Army of Darkness.
