Inventor: PANKNIN FERDINAND
IPC: F42B8/12
Filed: 2008-07-16
Abstract: In order to mark the point at which a projectile (10, 11) strikes a target, a container (3) that holds an agent to mark the target is incorporated into the ogive area of the projectile (10, 11). When the projectile (10, 11) strikes the target, the container (3) is broken so that the marking agent can escape through holes (2) made in the ogive (4) or the rear section. In order that the marking agent can escape in this form, an over-pressure is generated within the projectile (10, 11). This can be done by a gas cartridge (7) with a release mechanism (8) or by a plunger (9).
