I am assuming that base damage is simply firing and hitting one person. However, charging it makes it a laser round, allowing it to go through multiple enemies and making it a "railgun" rather than a sniper rifle. Which would make sense for the damage to decrease since you're hitting multiple targets. However, the damage may have been increased on charge as well.
