I think moreso is being absorbed through the blood and converted to CO2 in the lungs... I wonder if his breath holding abilities are increased substantially?

The nozzle pierced his buttock and began pumping air into his body, which expanded dramatically.
That's kinda vague but I imagine it didn't pierce a new hole in his buttock? It just used the existing?
