I think they should be normal loot, anyway it would be nice to have a decent shotgun or sniper at the start of the game without having to deal with rng getting in the way.

They're pretty powerful weapons. It's bad enough that you can get an assault rifle and decent medium armor at level 1.

Still, you could probably get a decent shotgun or sniper rifle immediately after handing in the quest to retrieve Jonas' watch.  Take a high-value weapon from Lucas, get the submachine gun from Jonas, the crossbow from Quinton, and maybe the crossbow from M'lan Ratula as well, then hop over to Junkyard and sell them off.  Even better if you have the tac vest and AR (and possibly riot gear and additional weapon) from the Underpassages.  That should get you plenty of value, even on Dominating, to buy a shotgun or sniper rifle and some ammo, even with the initial outlay of SGS credits to buy the grenade(s) you'd need to reliably handle the Underpassages fights at level 1.

If you're on Classic XP, you might have to hit level 2 just barely, but still, that's very very very early-game.

Also, if you decided to run Persuasion, you could get shoddy shotgun (requires 20 persuasion). It's good enough until before Depot A (it's doable to run with shoddy shotgun, but it's not as satisfying as your modded shorty)
For sniper, imo it's good enough atm. Affordable early game, yet quite expensive, since it's good enough to 1-shot most of the things.
