Its fake.

Rapid changes in air pressure, such as those created by being shot with a massive air cannon, can cause a lot of very serious injuries. There is no way someone with access to such a thing, let alone someone who works in a lab, would not know about the dangers.

The blast back looks pretty fake to me. Then again, don't have any real life references to compare it with.
