Unlike Shooters, Blasters are capable to fire large globs of ink who travel forward the Blaster wielder and conclude their path with an explosion. Since this characteristic makes Blasters generally more powerful than most Shooters, their rate of fire is much slower than the latter class' one; this class still has a fully-automatic shooting mode, just like classic Shooters.

Quotes

Splatoon 3

“ Squid Research Lab Ballistics Team here with a report on blaster-type weapons. As the name implies, blasters eject ink that explodes at a distance. This allows for advanced tactics such as "totally splatting campers who are hiding behind walls." We'll workshop a name for that. ”
