"The BXT1-A does more damage the longer you are in Scope. This variant has a slower charge time, but can fire more shots before reloading."

The BXT-1A Rifle is a variant of the BXT1 Rifle, the only difference being that the BXT-1A holds more ammo, and takes longer to charge, 2.8 seconds for a full charge versus the 2.5 seconds of the BXT-1.
