Often Tenno weapons are quite impressive, Vectis, Sybaris, Akboltos, Akmagnus, Orthos, Galatine, etc.

Snipers are extremely useful in higher level missions, particularly the bows such as Paris Prime/Dread (depending on whether you have 4x CP or not), but also the Vectis and Lanka. Sure, if you're bad and can only hit a target with spray and pray, snipers might seem to suck, but when you're sucking dust at the feet of that bombard/napalm/hg/boss in wave/minute 50+ of survival/defense/interception that just one shotted you because you couldn't one shot him first, your priorities will change in a jiffy.

Snipers are excellent for taking out heavy units. Considering that if you use mobility, cover, and CC correctly you won't even notice the light units exist much, I'd say that snipers are quite useful.
