Blaster Heroes still shooting when effected by a Force ability

Happened to me with Vader's force choke. Took damage from Chewie and Finn during separate force chokes. It kind of felt like it was automatic damage...I don't know if the opposing player was even pulling the trigger or aiming at me since I snuck up on them from behind and choked them. But the blaster shot sounds and damage were immediate and constant and at a consistent rate.
