peashooter
Breath-powered tube toy
A peashooter is a toy weapon—a small tube through which dried peas or other small projectiles are blown at targets.
The term extends dismissively to any firearm considered inadequate or underpowered: That little peashooter won't stop an intruder.
The word captures something child-sized and ineffectual.
