Claim:
A projectile having a hollow nose cap threadedly connected to a forward portion of a projectile body and a cartridge case bonded to a rear portion of said projectile body, such that said projectile is elongate and defines a longitudinal axis; wherein said projectile comprises: an ampoule disposed inside said hollow nose cap, with said ampoule's longitudinal axis substantially coaxial with said longitudinal axis of said projectile, and said ampoule contains a first luminescent dye component; a vial disposed inside said ampoule, with said vial containing a second luminescent dye component; a front crusher disposed at a front end of said ampoule; and a rear crusher disposed at a rear end of said ampoule; wherein upon launching of said projectile, impulse of said front crusher crushes said front end of said ampoule and said vial, thereby allowing said first and second luminescent dye components to mix and produce a luminous glow, and upon said projectile striking a target, said nose cap breaks and then said rear crusher throws said luminous dye out of said broken nose cap to mark the point of impact of said projectile.
