I encountered the last vestige of that in the late 60s. They had one of those rubella immunization drives - and they used a pneumatic injection device. No needle - basically a small-scale squirter that drove the vaccine under your skin with sort of a tearing action. A deliberate power-washer injury. That sucker STUNG.
I also remember that the handpiece looked EXACTLY like the phasers in the Star Trek pilot (remade into the two-parter) that was then new.
