Patent ID: 7475638

Claim:
A training projectile comprising a hollow arched cap at its head that defines a hollow cavity within the head of the projectile and that bursts upon impact of the projectile on a target, the improvement wherein a chemically inactive dye powder and a chemically active chemo-luminescent material are mounted within the cavity, and wherein the chemo-luminescent material includes at least two components mounted in a container which is embedded in the dye powder; wherein the components of the chemo-luminescent material are contained in individual ampoules that are mounted in the container; and wherein the container rests on an insert in the projectile which forms the bottom of the cavity; whereby upon bursting of the arched cap, the dye powder and the components of the chemo-luminescent material are released, such that the dye powder creates a color effect and, by interacting with one another, the components of the chemo-luminescent material create a light effect.
