Yes because snipers can kill from distances. The shotgun is the close combat weapon because it is only stronger in closer range but the sniper rifle can kill really far away. Snipers are trained to be invisible but not the shotgun. Today most military soldiers are now using the sniper rifle better than the shotgun. Snipers have perfect penatrations of firing against body armors but the shotgun has a poor penatration of firing through the body armor. Snipers are much more better than shotguns because snipers are much more powerful than shotguns and they can kill without being spotted by their enemies. So the sniper rifle is the winner.
Actually, it depends on the intended use. The original question was too vague to assume it was meant they way you answered it. At close distances, a shotgun is typically a better choice.

Is an airsoft sniper rifle better than an airsoft aeg?
There really is no answer to that question, because it is based on opinion and personal preference. An airsoft sniper rifle and an airsoft aeg are two different things, and since aegs can be full or semi auto, and sniper rifle are only bolt action or spring, there really is no comparison. Sniper rifles are more powerful, but aegs have a much higher rate of fire. It all depends on what you want to use and what you like better.

What is the difference between a Ptrs Sniper Rifle and a Barret 50cal Sniper rifle?
The PTRS is mainly used as an anti- tank sniper and the 50 cal is just a normal sniper rifle. =============== The PTRS was a sniper rifle made by the Russians during world war 2, it was used to take down heavy infantry and light vehicles like half tracks and jeeps. The Barret 50 Calibre sniper rifle is an anti-infantry sniper rifle, used for all purpose battlefield deployment. However, the modern day anti-armour sniper is the Intervention, this bolt-action sniper rifle is used in Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (wow... took me ages to write that title) which for some reason does no more damage than the Barret. The intervention can slice through light-to-medium armour in seconds, killing anybody inside.
How heavy is a 50 caliber sniper rifle?
12 - 15 lbs Actually, modern-day .50 caliber sniper rifles are considerably heavier than the above quote (the above weight is typical for a 7.62mm or equivalent sniper rifle). The "prototypical" 0.50 cal sniper rifle is the US's M82, made by Beretta. It weighs anywhere from 25 to 35 lbs, depending on model and attachments. Remember that a .50 cal (or 12.5mm) sniper cartridge is almost three times the volume, and five times the weight, as a 7.62mm cartridge, which means the rest of the rifle must be very significantly beefier than a 7.62mm rifle.
