Almost any rifle is far more powerful than any pistol based purely on the amount of barrel it has to build up speed in. Rifle cartridges also have far more powder in the case too.

The more important thing with the rifle over the pistol is that its far more accurate over distance because its a more stable two handed weapon.
Realistically the scenes that they show in movies and TV's of the steely eyed guy blasting someone with a pistol from a half football field away is bullspit. using a pistol is usually hit or miss over a short range, because even the smallest tremble in your hand or with your breathing can send you wide.
A rifle with two handed control is more forgiving of a novice shooter especially and you can hit out over range.
