You want to keep most people on shotgun because you can mow down zombie hordes in a tight corridor quicker, also because the shotgun can shoot through zombies easier its perfect for running around and clearing paths.
You never take the sniper rifle because its quite redundant when you have the M16, the M16 can also shoot through walls and it has enough range to be as deadly. The sniper has too slow rate of fire and has some serious friendly fire damage ( its almost one shot incapacitation in Expert, quite easy to accidentally do when your scoped).
Finally another reason why the shotgun trumps all is because the M16 is kinda made useless when you have Dual pistols, if you can click fast enough the pistols are almost has rapid as the rifle and despite the sounds and size the pistols do almost identical damage.
