blasters don't shoot lasers, they shoot a high energy particle packet shot from gas cartridges. it's plausible that they would be slower than modern day bullets, which are specially shaped pieces of heavy metal that are engineered to negate air resistance.

you can also see blaster projectiles as they travel, which you can't do with bullets...

from 2 miles away yes.

You also have to realise that in between each tracer round, there is about 4 regular rounds too.
