ABSTRACT:
A spotting projectile, especially for training purposes, which dispenses a cloud of powder upwardly on impact to indicate its location visibly. The projectile has an interior cylinder receiving a piston in gas-sealing slidable relation, so that gas trapped in the cylinder is compressed by forward inertial movement of the piston when the projectile impacts. The compressed gas ejects a powder charge carried by the piston rearwardly from the projectile to form a visible cloud.
