while it's always possible to get answers to these sorts of questions here, I am constrained to point out that there are two relatively quick ways to accomplish this on your own online dime:
1) OneLook provides multiple resources for definitions, often with pronunciations; but even better are those sites (such as Merriam-Webster and American Heritage) which have links to audible files whence you can hear the word (in standard Am. Eng.)
2) for more obscure terms (although OneLook has a couple of entries for 'blooter'), you might try going straight to Google
note search string which narrows things nicely to your context.
[NB: please note that both of the previous underlined terms are "links" to the respective resources.]
if both of these fail, what you have is a *really* obscure term, and if you then ask here, likely as not your question will get answered (and odds are good your word will eventually get indexed by *both of the aforementioned resources).
