ABSTRACT:
A projectile for delivering to a target a can containing pressurized material which is to be dispersed over the area of target. The projectile includes a cylindrical hollow housing to the rear end of which is attached a launching tube with a fin assembly. The can is slidably disposed within the housing. There is a space between a cap which closes the forward end of the housing and the can in the housing. The can slides forward in the housing toward the cap upon impact of the cap against the target. This opens a valve which releases the contents of the sealed can into the housing, and this, in turn, blows the cap off the housing so that the released material is dispersed over the target area. With the present projectile, the sealed can is not breached before the projectile strikes its target and the contents of the can may be dispersed in a very short time.
