Abstract

A color marker projectile, which is intended as a non-lethal projectile to mark a hit with color, is located in the projectile itself and is poured over the target on impact. The projectile is launched from a conversion kit (new barrel and bolt) of a real weapon. The color marker projectile includes a front part, a rear part, an inserted element and a color filler. The front part is formed as a semicircular cylindrical part with vertical ribs. The inserted element is positioned to complete the concluded cylindrical part of the front part. The color filler and the inserted element are positioned on the inside of the front part. The color filler is located at the contact point between the front part and the rear part.

Claims (12)

1. A color marker projectile comprising:

a front part formed as a domed cylinder with ribs forming a dome of the front part;

a rear part which is partially encapsulated by the front part;
