ABSTRACT:
A tubular, nonhazardous projectile having a ring airfoil shape has a plurality of recessed pockets circumferentially disposed around the body, each adjacent pair of pockets being separated by a longitudinal rib. Payload material is held in discrete compartments of a payload package, one compartment being held in each pocket of the projectile. The assembly is held together by wrapping the projectile. The projectile is propelled from a suitable launching device and, upon direct or glancing impact with a target, the wrapping breaks and the payload material is dispersed in the area of impact.
