5.3.8 Blaster Launcher
Blaster launcher is probably one of the greatest weapons in the
game. It is expensive, its ammo is expensive, but it is VERY
useful. You can blow up things in ANY direction, turn around
corners, go up and down stairs, flatten entire barns, even punch
a hole in UFO's outer hull! With a bit of management one solider
can carry up to 5 reloads (2 on belt and 3 in backpack).

[NET] One trick is to leave the soldier and the launcher inside
the craft kneeling on top of the ammo on the floor. That way
there's more than 5 rounds available. Or you can have other
soldiers carry more ammo, drop them on the ground, then have the
launcher guy stand/kneel on top of them. You can use this trick
on rocket launcher too, but it's not as useful.

[NET] You can also blow open parts of UFO and go in that way
instead of through the door. Many have reported that wrecking
the bridge first with a well-placed blaster bomb or two into the
upper level will decrease casualties by a large amount.

[KSC] Use blaster bomb to enlarge a standard door so you can fit
a tank through by targeting the wall next to the door. You can
also try this with heavy plasma as those can sometimes punch
through walls. This is great for battleships since the large
central lift allows tanks to go up to any level, and they also
have 2-space corridors wide enough for tanks.
