I certainly wouldn't call them useless. The ammo reserve within each weapon type (sniper, fusion, shotgun) varies greatly, and can be affected by a lot of armour/weapon upgrades. I'd say they're more or less balanced (despite how much more frustrated I get when I'm killed by a fusion rifle as opposed to a shotgun in PvP); snipers are for long-distance, shotguns are for point-blank, and fusion rifles strike a happy medium.
