The correct term is cartridge- which is the cartridge case, primer, powder, and bullet. A sniper rifle is simply an accurate, long range rifle that is used by a sniper. It may look exactly like my long range hunting rifle- since most military sniper rifles BEGAN as a civilian hunting weapon.

What is the thing bullets can't go through?

Many materials are bullet RESISTANT. Kevlar and other synthetic fibers are used to make soft body armor. However, nothing is truly bullet PROOF. The M1A1 Abrams tank fires a very big, very fast, very hard bullet that will go through 2 enemy tanks at once. This type of "bullet" is an armor piercing composite rigid shell. There are too many variables to consider, so more specifications are required. The apcr shell may or may not pierce through multiple tanks because enemy tank armor and armor slope is also involved. Scientists have devised a lightweight and extremely bullet resistant clear material that may replace glass but is also extremely expensive. This material can resist a standard .50 cal sniper rifle shot.

How is the ammunition for a rifle different from ammunition from a shotgun?

In general. a rifle fires a single projectile that is designed to be spun by the grooves inside the gun barrel. A shotgun fires a much larger diameter shell. This is filled with multiple round lead pellets. The weight of all the pellets in one shell is usually greater than the weight of a rifle bullet, but they do not travel as fast, and are not meant to be spun when fired.
