As lehma said, those are negatives of the weapons youre using. It takes an understanding of the current map and situation (such as tunnels, forts, map layout, etc etc) to choose the proper weapon. While you can use any one weapon for shits and giggles exclusivly (I for example only use shotgun, and feel pretty dirty to use any other weapon), simply charging into a map long tunnel thats one wide is probably the stupidest thing to do if you use shotgun for example.
SMG: Control your shots, determine if its really the smartest thing to do (and thats in reference to spraying walls down)
Rifle: Perfectly fine in CQC, but try not to charge headlong into enemy spawn with it. common sense.
Shotgun:dont get yourself into situations where youre facing a rifler fog distance away without cover, build curving tunnels , build giant walls, trenches, etc. to aid you.
Mold the battlefield to your advantage. Thats kind of the point of the game.
