Depends on a number of factors. What are you up against, for example? A shotgun's spread may be advantageous, but if you're up against someone wearing body armour, then you have a problem.

Either will get the job done.

Is a sniper rifle better than a shotgun?

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.


How far can a bayonet shoot?

Bayonets do not shoot. They are a type of knife that is attached to the end of a rifle or shotgun, and allow a soldier to use the blade as a spear at close range. Bayonets are not (intentionally) launched from your rifle. You use them to stick or cut people that are standing too close to you. REAL close.


What was the most powerful gun of the old west?

Rifle, shotgun, or handgun? The 10 gauge shotgun at close range would be very high on the list, as would some of the buffalo rifle cartridges, such as the 45-110. The .45 Colt revolver was possibly the most powerful handgun of the day.


What is the difference between a rifle and a shotgun in terms of their design and functionality?

A rifle is a long-barreled firearm with rifling inside the barrel to improve accuracy and range. It typically fires a single projectile (bullet) at a time. A shotgun has a shorter barrel and fires multiple pellets or a single slug, making it more effective at close range for hunting or self-defense.

What is the best gun in Halo 3?

In my opinion the best guns are the brute shot, sniper rifle, shotgun, and the plasma pistol. But most people would normally take a battle rifle and shotgun. A plasma pistol???????????????????????????????????? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would personally use a shotgun for close range combat and a SMG for mid range combat. The plasma pistol isn't as bad as you'd think, but i think the first guy meant to say plasma rifle
