Actually, I thought that Gadgeteer devices (Like power armour that they 
wear, or Armorgeddon Suits) were considered to be powers, and thus were 
counted against the Blaster's AP ability. Otherwise, the suits are in danger 
of being wiped by Blasters, making them a little less useful to DP. That, 
and it would make Gadgeteers be afraid for their lives.

Personally, I thought that the Blasters AP (Can you tell I've run champions 
for 10 years? :}) was a bit too much, and have cut it out in my games. Also, 
according to the rules, Blasters ROF 3 is for Each Hand. This means 6 shots 
per round that they can attempt. Scarry, huh? It was that, on top of the AP 
that made me think about toning them down in my campagins. So I removed the 
AP and made the ROF a flat 3. And they're still damn effective. As always, 
YMMV and stick with whatever works in your games.
