It's an interesting phenomenon, a lot of people think a sniper rifle must be very powerful and the firepower is one of the most important things when choosing a weapon (The polls I made some time ago aren't as useless as I first thought when I removed the links ._. )
Also, a "sniper" rifle isn't necessarily a bad choice in closer (not super close as in inside buildings) surroundings. Just because it's called a sniper rifle doesn't mean it must be bolt-action and must have a 16x scope.
Mr.jacksaunt:
An assault or battle rifle would do just the trick in closer surroundings, with a sniper rifle, you would have to:
A. Hold up your heavy rifle
B. Make sure to have a steady aim (if you are firing it while standing it can be very hard) by controlling your heartbeat and breathing
C. Aligne your scope with the target
D. Inhale, pull the trigger, exhale.
And fire power isn't that much of a deciding factor, because a battle rifle could just as well be using the same 7.62mm bullet as your sniper.

A: Heavy. Who says "sniper" rifles have to have more than 8 kg or something?
B: Heartbeat and breath control are necessary on greater distances where these little movements (especially heartbeat) make a difference.
C: Scope. I just said a scope isn't a necessity for a "sniper" rifle.
D: See B.
And of course firepower isn't everything. But I think it's rather common thinking that a bigger caliber is (always) better.
