So the question is if a flyer thats jinking and have the machine spirit rule then decides to shot a blast weapon.

Jink says that you may only fire snap shots so no blast weapons. Machine spirit says that you can fire a weapon at full bs, but it does not say anything about allowing to shot blast weapons.

Rai is probably that you can fire the weapon.
Raw says that you cant as there is nothing that allows you to do it.

Here's a link to the first page of the Space Marine draft FAQ that GW has put out.

Whilst it doesn't mention Jink, it does mention Crew Stunned / Shaken, which produces the same result (i.e. snapshots), and mention Templates instead of Blasts, but effectively the same.

You seem to have a lot of that page mixed up in this post.

The one that references templates in the question doesn't just say you can fire the weapon, it even tells you that blasts use full ballistic skill.

OP, yes blasts/templates may be fired via POTMS any time you a forced to make snapshots

Except when shooting at Zooming Flyers/Swooping FMCs.

But the snap shot rule says that it always aplies unless a rule specificaly says that it overides it and potms does not do that it only says you may fire at full BS so bassicly it only Works on splitting fire.

Except the FAQ answer mentioned which says it does override it.

Yes, Jew, I did not mention targeting or hitting restrictions from the model/unit getting hit.

Similarly, you cannot hit a model 30" from a template weapon via POTMS.

Although, and I didn't point this out earlier, this ruling does mean that you can target a unit under Invisibility with full bs/a template or blast via POTMS.
