Blasters are one of the main weapon classifications, introduced as an independent weapon class in Splatoon 3. In the previous titles of the Splatoon series, Blasters were part of the Shooter class, with which they share some technical characteristics.
Unlike Shooters, Blasters are capable of firing large globs of ink that travel forward 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. | ” | — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[1]

Trivia
Splatoon
- Blasters have the same winning and losing animations as Shooters since they are categorized under the same class in this game.
Splatoon 2
- When sorting by type, Blasters are grouped between automatic and burst-fire shooters.
- Selecting any Blaster and sorting by type would always make the next weapon the Sploosh-o-matic, before continuing with the internal order of the shooters.
Splatoon 3
- Blasters having their own category when sorting weapons in the selection screen makes this their first time as a standalone class.
- They have their own winning and emote animations separate from Shooters making this the first game with their own animations.
- The Range Blaster underwent massive model changes in between Splatoon 2 and 3; now the end of the barrel takes a much bigger, slightly rounder shape.
