Blaster is the "ranged combat" skill used to shoot blaster weapons that can be held and carried by a character. Blaster covers everything from tiny hold-out blasters to large repeating blasters (such as the E-WEB, heavy repeating blaster used by Imperial snowtroopers on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back). Other blaster types include sporting blasters (Princess Leia uses a sporting blaster in Star Wars: A New Hope), blaster pistols, heavy blaster pistols (like Han Solo's BlasTech DL-44), and the blaster rifles used by stormtroopers.
Do not use blaster to fire fixed blasters or multi-crew weapons (use blaster artillery), weapons mounted on vehicles (use vehicle blasters), or starship weapons (use capital ship gunnery or starship gunnery, both Mechanical skills).
