The sonic Blasta-Rifle is a very minor upgrade to the Sonic Pistol that provides a small accuracy and damage increase at the cost of speed, clip size, a two handed grip, and a longer barrel. The sonic Blasta-Rifle, like the Thermic Lance, is perhaps one of the least remarkable of its series.
Do not misunderstand, it is a powerful weapon that can do tremendous amounts of damage in the right hands. It outclasses any ballistic human weaponry by its sheer power alone. However, it doesn't particularly excel at anything, and also, being a sonic weapon, it lacks an auto fire mode.
In a twisted way of thinking, one could argue that this was the Blasta Rifle's strength. It builds on minor aspects of the gun above and below it in small ways.
So should you go for that extra shot from the pistol, go the middle ground and use the rifle, or lose a shot but gain brute force and inhuman accuracy? That's a tactical decision best left as a practical exercise.

Sonic Pistol -v- Sonic Rifle Comparison
UFO/TFTD equivalent comparison
In comparison to its UFO equivalent, the Plasma Rifle, the Plasma Rifle stood out for its highly accurate snap shot that surpassed the Heavy Plasma's snap shot accuracy - in fact, it's technically the Heavy Plasma snapshot accuracy plus the kneeling modifier. This makes it an ideal sniper weapon. The Blasta-Rifle is more powerful than the Plasma Rifle, but it lacks all the features that made the Plasma Rifle unique amongst its respective weapon series.
