literally: it was Jem and Scouts' Christmas presents and they do shoot stuff with them... scout even starts aiming at miss maudie's butt

symbolically (which you are most likely looking for): it was just another excuse to portray the mockingbird symbolizing innocence whereas they tell the children that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird or songbird. so don't shoot one

anything else i missed?

Did Jem or Scout shoot a mockingbird?

Although it isn't ever specifically said that they never shoot a mockingbird, I think it is safe to say they didn't. They are smart kids who respect their father. I believe that when he gave them a good reason not to kill a mockingbird, they took that to heart and avoided shooting one.

Why do the children use linen to kill a mocking bird?

In the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, the children, Scout and Jem, use air rifles to shoot at birds, not specifically mockingbirds.
