The invention provides a marker projectile comprising a hollow body (1)
having an opening (5) at the front; marker substance (8) disposed within
the hollow body (1); and an expelling member (7) such as a metal ball
within the hollow body (1), behind the marking substance (8). The hollow
body (1) and expelling member (7) being configured such that upon impact
of the projectile with a target, the momentum of the expelling member (7)
relative to the hollow body (1) carries the expelling member (7)
forwardly to expel the marking substance (8) through the opening (5), and
characterised by a separator (4) extending at least partly over the front
opening (5), the separator (4) defining two or more spaces (42a, 42b,
42c) through which the maker substance may pass when expelled through the
opening (5).
