None of that is "special mission only weapon" though?

And those ammo counts are fine, if you're even halfway decent at the game you should literally never run out.

I was mistaken on the mission only part - I was confusing snipers (class locked) with heavy weapons.

BUT... when your max ammo carry capacity is 9 you can't really say you can use it as your primary weapon. Even if you get a headshot and oneshot every enemy, 9 bullets isn't going to clear a mission. You end up hoarding them for bosses rather than actually using your sniper the entire time. Now, google says they eventually drastically increased ammo drop rate in re-releases, so your experience might not have been the same on mine since I played it on release on the 360.
