Seems like an air burst scatter shot weapon would be more effective. Something like a shotgun with explosive projectiles. Use the concussive blow to cause damage.

What goes up must come down gaining velocity in the process. This is exceedingly dangerous. Google for deaths from guns fired in the air at marriage parties / celebrations.
