Blasters
Blasters are versions of Shooters which shoot slow, large bullets that explode in mid-air. These guns are recommended for close-combat rather that inking turf. They are generally regarded as inferior weapons because of their short range, movement impairing side effects, and poor turf inking capabilities. With the advent of Tower Control, however, they have found a home due to their ability to simply pummel the tower from up close, making it difficult for the people on the tower to counter without blinding themselves to other, more easily dispatched threats.
 * The Standard Blaster Series
 * Blaster – Shoots large bullets that explode into ink. A direct hit will kill in one hit, but the gun does not cover a lot of turf. Comes with Disruptors and the Killer Wail.
 * Custom Blaster – Is identical to the Blaster, but instead comes with Point Sensors and the Bubbler.
 * The Range Blaster Series
 * Range Blaster – Similar in both appearance and playstyle to the Blaster, but sacrifices firing rate for increased range. It comes in a set with the Splash Wall and the Inkstrike.
 * The Rapid Blaster Series
 * Rapid Blaster – Does less damage than the the Blaster, but has a faster fire rate and better range. Comes with Ink Mines and the Bubbler.
 * Rapid Blaster Deco – Is identical to the Rapid Blaster, but instead comes with Suction Bombs and Bomb Rush.
 * The Luna Blaster Series
 * Luna Blaster – Is a blaster that has a very short range, but does massive damage and has a slightly faster rate of fire. It comes with Ink Mines and the Inkzooka.
