Actually, Star Wars provides a perfect example. How many points of damage does the Death Star do? I hope you'd consider that a ridiculous question. Or at least one that never needs to be asked.
So how many points of damage does a blaster do isn't quite as ridiculous maybe, but it's equally unnecessary. Blasters can be used to try to resolve story situations. Perhaps there are situations where Big Blaster has an advantage over Blaster, but in most story situations it doesn't matter.

Or you can look at it that you are still simulating, only now you're simulating a movie (or a book, or some other dramatic form).
