The shotgun rules are really only a minor sub-case of the general Rapid Fire rules. Gurps largely ignores that some of the projectiles are fired 9 at a time rather than one after the other (except for the low recoil).

So with 12 Gauge buck shot you're options are to fire 9 rounds, 18 rounds or 27 rounds and this is treated like any other gun firing the same number of rounds with the same recoil (which is calculated as you said).
