Don't get a sniper rifle as a first gun. Regardless of the skill requirements and cost of upgrading them, they are specialized tools for a specialized job. There are a lot of scenarios where hanging back and trying to snipe is counterproductive (rushing an objective, fighting in a building etc). If you still want to try sniping, get a sniper rifle as a 2nd or 3rd gun after trying the game out and learning what you like from experience.
For a first gun, I'd say get an AEG. They're usable in any scenario, and don't require huge investment of time and energy just to get working passably.
