Destiny: Which Gun Should I get?

So I've got enough crucible marks to get either the Final Boss sniper Rifle, which does fire dmg and has the abilitys "missing a shot has a chance to return ammo to your magazine" and "increased reload speed when the mag is empty. or Zombie Apocolypse machine gun, which does arc dmg and has the abilities "kills with this weapon increase dmg for a short time" and "increase reload speed when the mag is empty".
I already have a legendary sniper rifle of similar power to Final Boss, but it does void dmg instead of fire. I'm curious if you guys think its worth it to get the sniper rifle just to have the different kind of dmg in case of something being immune to void, or if I should get the Zombie Apocolypse so that I have a machine gun in case it makes more sense than my rocket launcher at some point.
I have the Zombie Apocalypse, It's not to bad, But the sniper will definitely benefit you more in the long run, for sure.

Caligula even while I already have a similar one, with the only difference being dmg type?

It makes all the difference in the Nightfall strikes. I have 2 sniper's currently, Void and Fire.
Because the damage type can affect different shield types. If they have a red aura then you use your fire damage, same goes for the other colors.
The hardest ones to deal with being Void shields. The elite psionic guys have these and become a huge issue in the late game sometimes because even the titans bubble can't stop their psi waves.
And to be honest The Swarm > Zombie Apocalypse so try to get that if your looking for a HMG because The Swarm has huge ammo capacity and it's got a slow and steady fire rate with great range where as The Zombie Apocalypse just eats through ammo and it's got a tough recoil pattern, Also not very good at a range, So it's only really good at mowing down swarms.

Disregard Destiny, acquire Borderlands Presequel. That is all.

Personally I use the new monarchy machine gun short of an exotic there is no better one imho . I would pick up the sniper or a fusion instead they are great for nightfall.

Level 24 Hunter, still use the Stranger's Rifle and do perfectly fine in the Crucible :P
Only items I have above rare is a Warlock's helmet (was kinda mad when it was my first legendary item) and The Swarm machine gun.
What about the Vex Mythoclast? Is that still broken AF? Go do the Vault on Hard :P

I am currently a 26 Titan, Totally picked up the Mida Multi Tool a couple weeks ago, So pumped on that. Currently working towards that Pocket Infinity.
.. Just waiting on Xur to get the Armamentarium in stock now.

@ ducttapedeckbox No the Vex isn't really OP anymore tbh they really over nerfed it pretty bad for pve, for pvp its ok but the projectiles seem to lag and not always hit where you are firing.

Ahhh thanks Arctic. I didn't know what it was until a few days ago when I saw an older video of one of the first guys to get it. Damn it looked ridiculous.

They nerfed it hard i think it was a 34% damage nerf.

Get the Pocket Infinity, If you get the field scout mod on it, it's easily the best weapon in the game, IMO.
