armored files

when gnupg armors a file using the '--enarmor' command, 
(gpg --enarmor filename)
the output for the .asc file is always the same, no matter how many times
the command is repeated 
{as expected, as there is no hashing}

this is also so from command line pgp,(pgp -a filename) 
both in  2.x and 6.x

but,

when the '-a --store' command is used in gnupg, 
(gpg -a --store filename)
the output is 'different' each time, resulting in a different armored
block for the .asc file

what is different about the '--store' command, and what is actually being
'changed' each time? 

tia,
