The place between the paint ball and the back of the gun forms a small chamber. Gas of greater volume than the chamber is released. The result is the paint ball moves. Same for a bullet.
It both cases you remove the small chamber, and not much happens if you are any distance away. Try pointing a paintball gun (with no paint balls in it) at some one 10 feet away. On a still day, with some luck, they might be able to detect a breeze.
To push a person you need the force of a jet engine exhaust, or some industrial fans. Even in those cases range is very limited. Air vibrates easily (sound), but strongly resists movement.
Is another form of:This robot uses air compulsion to fire bullets at possible explosives.
Notice the key element, a projectile. It is NOT firing air. It is firing a projectile. Remove the projectile from the gun and it would do no damage to the explosive.A paint ball flies because of the expansion of a gas in a confined space.

Because of this, this robot can fire water, air, and other materials that will fit in its shell.

I am holding the projectile in my hand as I type. If I had a camera I would post it. Note: Never leave your brief case in a parking lot over night.
Now you could shoot a focused high pressure jet of air and do some damage, but you would have to be with in inches of the barrel. The pressures required would be extreme.
