But only when actually trying to cross said limited range, no?

Let's say you have a gun and a sniper rifle. The sniper rifle can fire bullets to, say, 50m or more, while the ones fired with the gun barely reach the 20m. If you were trying to shoot something that is 15-20m away from you, why should you use the sniper rifle, which is heavier, more dangerous, and more difficult to use, instead of the gun, which is lighter, simpler, easier to use, less dangerous, and whose bullets are more common and cheaper?
