We claim: 1. A fencing, squirting and missile-shooting toy, comprising: a sword-shaped body having axially aligned elongate handle and elongate blade portions, said sword-shaped body adapted for play fencing by holding said toy by said handle portion while battering and poking opponents with said blade portion; said blade portion having a forward terminal end disposed opposite from said handle portion and comprising a hollow rigid elongate tubular housing adapted to receive a piston slidably there-within; said housing comprising an air exhaust opening adjacent to said forward terminal end of said blade portion; said piston comprising a slidable seal adapted to movably and sealingly engage the inner surface of said tubular housing such that said piston is sealingly movable longitudinally within said housing to thereby define an expandable and contractible air chamber within said housing between said piston and said air exhaust opening; an air intake opening adapted to allow air to enter said expandable air chamber as said piston is moved longitudinally away from said forward terminal end; said blade portion further comprising a soft and buoyant foam outer shell; said blade portion further comprising a soft and buoyant tip portion adjacent to and removable from said forward terminal end; said handle portion being longitudinally movable relative to said blade portion and rigidly connected to said piston such that moving said handle portion longitudinally relative to said blade portion causes said piston to move longitudinally within said housing; wherein, pulling said handle portion longitudinally away from said first terminal end causes air to enter said expandable air chamber through said air intake opening; and subsequently pushing said handle portion longitudinally towards said first terminal end portion causes said intaken air to be exhausted from said expandable air chamber through said air exhaust opening and to thereby expel said tip portion from said forward terminal end as a missile which flies in substantially the same direction as the handle portion is pushed; wherein, upon removal of said tip portion from said forward terminal end, submersion of said air exhaust opening into water, and blocking of said air intake opening, said air exhaust opening becomes a water intake and exhaust opening and said expandable air chamber becomes an expandable water chamber, and pulling said handle portion longitudinally away from said first terminal end causes water to enter said expandable water chamber through said water intake and exhaust opening; and subsequently pushing said handle portion longitudinally towards said first terminal end portion causes said intaken water to be exhausted from said expandable water chamber through said water intake and exhaust opening and to thereby be expelled from said forward terminal end as water stream which flies in substantially the same direction as the handle portion is pushed; and wherein said tip is tapered narrower from said forward terminal end of said blade portion. 2. The toy of claim 1 wherein said handle and tip are comprised of a soft and buoyant foam material. 3. The toy of claim 2 wherein said soft and buoyant foam material is a closed-cell foam. 4. The toy of claim 3 wherein said closed-cell foam is taken from one of polyethylene foam, polypropylene foam, ethylene vinyl acetate foam, or neoprene foam. 5. The toy of claim 1 wherein said an air intake opening comprises an air intake channel communicating between the outside environment and said expandable air chamber through said handle portion and disposed such that a user may selectively block said channel while pushing said handle portion longitudinally towards said first terminal end portion to selectively deny said intaken air from being exhausted from said expandable air chamber through said air intake channel. 6. The toy of claim 5 wherein said handle and tip are comprised of a soft and buoyant foam material. 7. The toy of claim 6 wherein said soft and buoyant foam material is a closed-cell foam. 8. The toy of claim 7 wherein said closed-cell foam is taken from one of polyethylene foam, polypropylene foam, ethylene vinyl acetate foam, or neoprene foam. 9. A toy sword adapted for play fencing, comprising: a handle and an elongate blade, said handle being longitudinally movable relative to said blade and comprising a piston which is slidable within an elongate cylindrical chamber of said blade to form an air chamber, said air chamber being expanded during an expansion stroke of said piston and being compressed during a compression stroke of said piston, said air chamber having an air outlet having a cross-sectional area that is smaller than the cross-sectional area of said cylindrical chamber to allow the rapid exhaustion of air there-through from said air chamber during said compression stroke, said blade further comprising a removable tip disposed longitudinally transverse from said handle and adjacent to and in communication with said air outlet such that air exiting said air chamber through said compression stroke forces said tip from said blade as a projectile; and wherein, upon removal of said tip from said toy sword and submersion of said air outlet into water, said air outlet becomes a water inlet and outlet and said air chamber becomes a water chamber, said water chamber being expanded during an expansion stroke of said piston and being compressed during a compression stroke of said piston, said water inlet and outlet having a cross-sectional area that is smaller than the cross-sectional area of said cylindrical chamber to allow the rapid expulsion of water there-through from said water chamber during said compression stroke. 10. The toy sword of claim 9 wherein said tip is comprised of a first soft foam material. 11. The toy of claim 10 wherein said blade is comprised of a second soft foam material. 12. The toy of claim 11 wherein said first soft foam material and said second soft foam material are of the same color. 13. The toy sword of claim 9 wherein said outlet increases the pressure in the chamber during the compression stroke such that at least one of water and air accelerates through the outlet causing a rapid expulsion of at least one of water and air. 14. The toy of claim 9 wherein at least one of said handle and tip are comprised of a soft and buoyant foam material. 15. The toy of claim 14 wherein said soft and buoyant foam material is a closed-cell foam. 16. The toy of claim 15 wherein said closed-cell foam is taken from one of polyethylene foam, polypropylene foam, ethylene vinyl acetate foam, or neoprene foam. 17. A squirting toy sword adapted for play fencing comprising: a handle and an elongate blade that is substantially covered with a foam outer shell that provides safety benefits, said handle being longitudinally movable relative to said blade and comprising a piston which is slidable within an elongate cylindrical chamber of said blade to form an air chamber, said air chamber being expanded during an expansion stroke of said piston and being compressed during a compression stroke of said piston; and an air outlet adapted to allow the rapid exhaustion of air from said air chamber during said compression stroke, said air outlet having a diameter smaller than the diameter of said cylindrical chamber, wherein, upon submersion of said air outlet into water, said air outlet becomes a water inlet and outlet having a diameter smaller than the diameter of said cylindrical chamber and said air chamber becomes a water chamber, said water chamber being expanded during an expansion stroke of said piston and being compressed during a compression stroke of said piston, said water inlet and outlet being adapted to allow the expulsion of water in a powerful stream from said water chamber during said compression stroke. 18. The toy of claim 17 wherein said soft and buoyant foam material is a closed-cell foam. 19. The toy of claim 18 wherein said closed-cell foam is taken from one of polyethylene foam, polypropylene foam, ethylene vinyl acetate foam, or neoprene foam. 20. The toy of claim 17, wherein said blade of said squirting toy is further comprising a removable tip disposed longitudinally transverse from said handle and adjacent to and in communication with said air outlet such that air exiting said air chamber through said compression stroke forces said tip from said blade as a projectile. 21. A toy sword adapted for play fencing, comprising: a handle and an elongate blade, said handle being longitudinally movable relative to said blade and comprising a piston which is slidable within an elongate cylindrical chamber of said blade to form an air chamber, said air chamber being expanded during an expansion stroke of said piston and being compressed during a compression stroke of said piston, said air chamber having an air outlet adapted to allow the rapid exhaustion of air there-through from said air chamber during said compression stroke, said blade further comprising a removable tip disposed longitudinally transverse from said handle and adjacent to and in communication with said air outlet such that air exiting said air chamber through said compression stroke forces said tip from said blade as a projectile; wherein, upon removal of said tip from said toy sword and submersion of said air outlet into water, said air outlet becomes a water inlet and outlet and said air chamber becomes a water chamber, said water chamber being expanded during an expansion stroke of said piston and being compressed during a compression stroke of said piston, said water inlet and outlet being adapted to allow the rapid expulsion of water there-through from said water chamber during said compression stroke; and wherein said tip is tapered narrower from said forward terminal end of said blade portion. 22. The toy of claim 21 wherein at least one of said handle and tip are comprised of a soft and buoyant foam material. 23. The toy of claim 22 wherein said soft and buoyant foam material is a closed-cell foam. 24.
