If you want to have something to shoot at your mom or your little brother (without hurting them), you should check out AirZooka.  AirZooka is a “gun” powered by air impulsion.  It’s easy to use, just pull the elastic and point the gun towards your target.

“The Airzooka is a fun gun that launches harmless rings of air up to 40 feet. You will be amazed when you are able to mess up a persons hair or knock down targets from over 40 feet away. Requiring no batteries, and shoots air, you will never run out of ammo. Because it shoots air, it is safe at any distance.”

This air impulsion effect is a physics phenomenon called “vortex generator.” Tornados are a good example of this effect.  According to Wikipedia:

“A vortex generator is an aerodynamic surface, consisting of a small vane that creates a vortex. They can be found in many devices, but the term is most often used in aircraft design.”

I think this toy is more for getting to know a little more “how stuff works.”  I’m not too sure of how it works, but I bet you never heard of “vortex generator” before!  The toys sounds pretty useless to me, but useless or not, according to AirZooka’s official website, they’re are out of stock!
