Simplest way is to increase the mass of A batteries to 4. While this 
isn't perfect, it changes the A from straight-out better than the rest 
to something which spends close-range firepower for better range.

Of course, the vulnerability of A batteries to treshold checks is a good

argument too; increasing their mass puts more emphasis on it.
