blasting away
Shooting without stopping
Blasting away describes sustained, vigorous action—usually shooting, playing music loudly, or working intensely at something.
Guns blast away at targets; stereos blast away through the night; workers blast away at a project until it's done.
The phrase emphasizes continuous effort or noise: The band was blasting away in the garage, He sat blasting away at the video game for hours.
