The Laser rifle is not a sniper rifle for gods sake. Its a unique weapon like the Swarm Launcher and Mass Driver.

I think that they should all be categorized together.
I think each race won't get a "knife" but instead a melee weapon. CCP wasn't thinking straight when they were talking about racial knives.
Finally, the shotgun and mass driver are both specialty weapons. Shotgun is the only light weapon dedicated to CQC, and mass driver is the only light weapon dedicated to support. Then again it could be argued that the laser/sniper is in fact in the same category as these weapons because they are also specialty weapons good at only one thing.
It also makes sense because we have gallente being short range, minmatar being short-medium, amarr being medium-long, and caldari being long range, in terms of specialty weapons. But then again who knows what the precision rifle will be like, and if the gallente long-range rifle will actually be shorter range than all of them. If we were to only use information currently in game, yes the shotgun would be in the Speacilist class. However based on rumours, concept arts, etc. I think there is a AOE class Shotgun Class Sniper Class LMG class. If we designate the Laser as an LMG, when we look at the minmatar art with the rumoured shotgun, there is also an LMG on the close left. You don't even know how much the mere concept of an LMG would change my current plans to skill True.
I'd instantly drop scouts in favour of a heavier frame and couple that LMG with a Laser and be the ultimate suppression master.
However right now scouts fit my secondary desired play style.

Also that one where you believe you see caldari shotgun,
second row, second column I believe to be caldari AOE, third column caldari shotgun.
The laser for what it is does not make sense as a sniper rifle, as I cannot be used effectively in the role required of a sniper. Since snipers need to remain hidden....the laser thows that **** out the window.....

You may be interested in that CCP confirmed mass driver is a "launcher" class weapon, and shares the same class with the plasma cannon and swarm launcher. I think I spotted the Amarr launcher as well. Also, names of the Gallente and Amarr heavy weapons have been revealed. 
Not to us lesser beings though. Only CPM have that information I believe.
