A projectile is provided for delivering a payload from a smoothbore
launcher to a target. The projectile includes an aerodynamic stabilizer,
an extender along which the stabilizer can longitudinally translate, and
a chamber connected to the extender to contain the payload. The chamber
can include a plastic bag for containing a liquid that represents the
payload, and a plurality of holes that radially extend through its wall.
The stabilizer enhances post-launch directional stability of the
projectile by longitudinally translating rearward along the extender to
shift center of pressure of the projectile aft of center of gravity of
the projectile. The bag ruptures upon contact with the target, thereby
disbursing the liquid through the holes. The bag can include malodorant
or paint. The projectile can be contained within a gunpowder-loaded
shotgun shell for launch.
