In Mega Man 2, what weapon does Air Man give?

The story behind the answer

In Mega Man 2, Air Man gives Mega Man the Air Shooter. The weapon fires a spread of three small tornadoes that travel forward and can damage multiple targets.

Air Man is one of the eight Robot Masters created by Dr. Wily for the 1988 sequel. His stage is set high above the ground, with platforms, strong winds, and enemies built around the air theme. After defeating him, Mega Man copies Air Man's weapon and can use it throughout the rest of the game.

The Air Shooter is often confused with weapons associated with other bosses. Leaf Shield belongs to Wood Man, Crash Bomber belongs to Crash Man, and Quick Boomerang belongs to Quick Man. Air Man's own design also helps identify the weapon: his torso-mounted propeller produces the wind attacks that become the three-tornado Air Shooter. In the usual weakness chain, the Air Shooter is especially useful against Crash Man.
