I had an incident recently where an object (2 "horse pills" actually) became lodged in my throat and nobody was present to help me. Fortunately I was able to cough them out on my own, but it was a close call. My question is whether discharging an air pistol into one's mouth (sucking the barrel to keep an air seal) as a last resort in that situation would be more likely to force the object down into the stomach, saving the person's life, or merely causing lots of unrelated damage while they continued to choke? Sorry, I know it's a bizarre question but the situation got me thinking about workarounds to a Heimlich buddy...
