  This is most certainly true for paint ball guns.  I've seen one, on a very
cold day, go through both sides of a five-gallon bucket, and make the teenage
kid whose foot it hit afterward tear up a bit.  But what was brought up here was
the use of blowguns; where one could obviously regulate the velocity of the
paint ball.  I would not condone the use of a paint ball, but have seen soft-ish
rubber pellets advertised for blow guns.  Perhaps, if you're too lazy or bored
to just use the garden hose as others have advised, this might be a fairly
"gentle" yet effective technique for getting them to move on.
