The sharp blast flung the operator out in a shower of glass.

She stood up and fired two sharp blasts from her phaser.

There was a brief sputtering followed by several sharp blasts.

He turned, and gave a sharp blast on a whistle.

The sharp blast echoed in the small space, followed by a terrified scream.

A sharp blast of light flashed in the east, searing the sky all around them.

It would be easy to cut their threads any time with a little sharper blast from the north.
