A shot gun fire multiply bullets that spread out at the same time that. The scope is only used for accurecy and best for sniping. Shotguns are not meant for aim at far distance, it's meant to stuff a shitload of bullets into your enemies head.

You still have to aim a weapon. Aiming doesn't mean using a scope to pinpoint the exact location where a BULLET will land. You don't just grab a shotgun and pull the trigger. You aim(at the general direction where you want the bullets to go and THEN pull the trigger.
You don't "aim" a shotgun. Aiming involves sighting, pointing, steadying, then firing. You draw a bead on the target with a shotgun. Drawing a bead merely involves sighting, pointing, then firing. There is a difference.
I'm not much of an expert on guns, but I remember reading somewhere that some shotguns can fire solid slugs AS WELL AS shotgun shells. I don't know what kind of shotgun she's got there (Remington something?) but maybe that's what the scope is for.
Just for a note, There are currently 3 known types of general shotgun ammo, normal 9mm pellets, SABOT round, and explosive rounds. The standard 9 mm pellets did not require any scope to be used, a red dot is the most if the user is looking for a bit of accuracy. This type of ammo are the most commonly used by both civilian and military personnel. However the last 2 types of rounds reduce the lethality of the shotgun on CQC (Close Quarter Combat) by increasing the range the shotgun can handle. Now this two types of round may enable the usage of scopes to provide accuracy at medium distance for the shotgun users.
First off, if she's firing slugs, she might well have a scope on it, they're accurate out to 100 yards. That increases out to 120 yards if she's using a rifled shotgun and sabot rounds. I'd want a scope too if I was shooting at those ranges. Even if she's firing shot, that's still accurate out to around 30 yards (the general rule is 1" of spread per yard.) The idea that shotshell is horrendously inaccurate even at close ranges is just a myth, perpetuated by video games that nerf them spectacularly in the interests of game balance.
Also, no, 9mm is not at all the standard shot size, the strength of a shotgun is versatility. The most common load is typically 00 buck, which is 8.4mm, and bird shot can go as low as 2mm. Sabot (it's not an acronym, it doesn't need all caps) rounds are a subset of what are known as slug rounds, which is used to denote one solid piece of lead vs. many small pieces. And an 18mm piece of lead at 500 m/s can hardly be considered less lethal. They use them to kill large game, like deer.
Sabot slugs fired from a rifled barreled shotgun if I remember rightly are pretty accurate upto 250-350m, even buckshot can put someone down up to 50-60m away.
BTW the Spaz-12 has Scope Mount that can mount most types of Rifle scopes.

Another bullshit part to shotguns not requiring aiming, is that even birdshot, which holds the most amount of pellets of the regular shotgun loads at the cost of having the least kinetic power, the spread won't go outside the size of someone's face. You still need to aim, shotgun shooting is like a game of horseshoes, close is good enough, but if you fucking miss, you fucking miss. If you use slugs on the other hand, your going to need to aim like any other standard firearm, but slugs possess a shitload of kinetic force and destructive power.
