49. SWAT doesn't use shotguns anymore though

They've all transitioned to AR's and 9mm carbines.

They figured out years ago that shotguns aren't great for indoor shooting scenarios, and adopted better tech. Small mag capacity, excessive muzzle blast, slow to reload, heavy recoil all make a shotgun a poor choice for home defense IMO.
