blaster

Futuristic handheld weapon

A blaster is a device that produces a powerful burst of something—sound, air, or energy.

A boom box may be called a ghetto blaster.

In science fiction, blaster is the generic term for a handheld energy weapon: Set your blasters to stun.

Someone who blasts is also a blaster—a demolitions worker or a critic who tears something apart.
