Do you think air currents will be an issue?

One of my students brought up this idea over fans: Wham-O Air Blaster

Too bad they were made in the 60's and are tough to come by these days.
We looked at Airzooka's (sp?) for a bit but decided timing would be tough to pull off.

You can also make one of out a 5 gallon bucket and some plastic if you want more volume, the issue would be actuating it.

We did some brief tests with fans pointed up to see if it would deflect a frisbee. Our conclusion was that it was not a viable means of defense. The discs are pretty dense and are moving fairly quickly.

We did some tests with a leafblower and came to the conclusion that:

1. The narrow beam makes defense with a leafblower impractical
2. The leafblower may end up deflecting desks up into the goal making defense counterproductive
