I will freely admit that for the Thorn and Invective bounties, I have been using a shotgun. I will be switching back to a sniper if/when I ever go back into the crucible, despite the fact that I kinda suck with it in Destiny, and still believe that the lens flare shouldn't show up until after you've taken one shot. On the other hand, maybe I just take a long time to shoot with it. Y'know, like snipers are supposed to be used. :P And no, I don't claim to be any good at crucible. My K/D is 1.35 according to Bungie, so not massively great, but good enough to finish the exotic bounties :P
