The shotguns depicted, and shotguns in general as we would recognize them, are all very modern guns, all of them post-dating the Shogunate.
There were samurai under the Shogunate who used guns - Tokugawa Ieyasu, who claimed the title of Shogun around ~1600 AD, was an avid proponent of the use of firearms. But none that would look like these guns.
