Switch to TBMode. then wield blasters, come to monsters - then press A button and wait till a Blaster Ray Hits a Monster and it simulates being hit, next press A again and wait recoil then cycle and

meaning no "pressing A constantly" this time.

So you'll see how efficient blasters really (and really turn-based) are.

It's not "damn blasters" issue - it's "button A stuck depressed" thing. The same trick can be done with GM bows, high level Master Daggers, GM Armsmasters, etc. It's up to you whether to use A-button trick or not.
