Patent ID: 6990905

Claim:
A non-lethal marker projectile that provides site identification capability of a target upon impact with the target, comprising: a generally cylindrical rear base which is made of a resilient material; and a front end extending longitudinally from said, rear base, said front end including an outer surface having a rear portion which is attached to said rear base and a nose portion serving as a windshield, said outer surface defining a space therein, a breakable container system located in the space, said container system containing separated chemiluminescent reagents which when mixed produce light, and a foam filler which surrounds said breakable container system and which fills the space; wherein the container system breaks on a setback impact that is exerted during firing and initial launch, causing the chemiluminescent reagents to mix and be absorbed into said foam filler such that upon impact of the projectile with the target, said foam filler marks the target with the mixed chemiluminescent reagents.
