Blaster's weapon of choice is the electro-scrambler. This rifle emits electromagnetic waves that cause all but the most heavily shielded electrical systems to go haywire. Theoretically, it should work the same way on the electrical impulses of a human's nervous system, but that's something Blaster would rather not find out, tempting as it may be.
