About 2 months ago I saw one of those at Spencer's in my local mall, it is actually pretty cool, if you shoot it at a peice of paper or target hanging from the ceiling the target moves, it sways likes it's been shot by like a BB gun. I think the range on the one i was using was more around 20 feet not 30, but it looked exactly alike.

Back in my younger days, there were 'guns' that shot out a pocket of air at ya. The guns were anything from pistol size to rifle size. Basically, a diaphram inside a formed air tunnel( like a funnel) was struck by a plunger of some type, forcing the air on the other side to sqeeze out the funnel. The rifles could shoot air at a target 30-50 feet away. They were taken off the shelf when kids would shoot each other around the head, blowing out the kid's eardrums and sometimes damaging the eyes.

Interesting. I think this concept is a little less powerful because its a balloon. I guess it is dangerous, but as they say one rotten apple spoils the bunch.
