A projectile suitable for launching by a gun or similar weapon, having a hollow housing within which there is carried a pressurized container having the material to be delivered therein. A piercing pin within the housing is spaced from the bottom of the container. When the projectile is launched by the firing of the weapon, the inertia of the container causes the piercing pin to penetrate the bottom of the container. The pin and container remain together until the projectile\s forward motion is sharply reduced as by striking an object or the ground. The piercing pin is thereby dislodged, releasing the delivered material under pressure into the atmosphere. Stabilizing fins and weights are provided to control the flight of the projectile.

A projectile for delivering and dispersing material under pressure comprising a hollow housing in the form of a cylindrical shell, closed at its rear by an end wall and reduced in diameter at its forward end, a sealed container to receive the material under pressure slidably received for a portion of its length within the reduced diameter portion of the shell, a piercing pin secured to the end wall within the housing rearwardly of the container, and disposed in the path of the container as it slides within the housing, an elongated launching tube secured at one end of the wall and extending rearwardly and axially of the housing, means to prevent the piercing pin from entering the container prior to projectile launching, and exit ports in the housing to permit the material under pressure to escape from the housing after the projectile has been launched and the piercing pin has penetrated the container.
