Depends on the purpose for which you want it ANSWER: They are each better at what they were designed for. The rifle will give you better long range accuracy. The pistol is easier to handle in tight or restricted spaces.

Is a rifle the most powerfullest gun ever?

First, it is rifle, not riffle. Second, no, or we would shoot tanks with a rifle. Cannon are more powerful. Finally, depends on the rifle. I have a .22 rifle and a .44 magnum pistol. The pistol is far more powerful than the rifle. I also have a .22 pistol, and a 30-06 rifle. The rifle is far more powerful than the pistol (in THAT example).
