An improved, precision shooting, safety oriented, high speed projectile (10) comprising a non-toxic, soft, hollow, capsule (12) formed of a plurality of portions joined together at at least one seam line (14), said seam line (14) being the weakest point of the capsule (12), with the greatest length

An improved, precision shooting, safety oriented, high speed projectile (10) comprising a non-toxic, soft, hollow, capsule (12) formed of a plurality of portions joined together at at least one seam line (14), said seam line (14) being the weakest point of the capsule (12), with the greatest length of the capsule (12) alignable along the length of a gun barrel, whereby said capsule (12) will generally consistently impact on an essentially predetermined portion of the capsule (12) relative to the centerline of the initial direction of flight of the capsule and a colored, non-toxic, fill material disposed in said capsule (12) for ejection therefrom, the angle of at least one seam line (14) being generally consistent relative to the centerline of the initial direction of flight, upon rupture of said capsule (12) at at least one seam line (14) upon impact of said projectile (10) on a soft solid target. The capsule (12) is preferably elastic gelatin.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An improved soft, elastic, hollow, elongated capsule for propelling from a barrel having a bore diameter and a length comprising a plurality of portions joined along a substantially continuous seam line between adjoining portions of said capsule, defining an area including said seam line and adjacent said seam line, said capsule having a length dimension and a width dimension in which the length dimension is greater than the width dimension, said length dimension defining end points of said capsule, said area including said seam line and adjacent said seam line passing substantially through said end points and said capsule being weaker in said area including said seam line and adjacent said seam line than in said plurality of portions, the capsule being alignable with said length dimension along the length of the barrel and said area including said seam line and adjacent said seam line being alignable with the length of the barrel, whereby said capsule will substantially consistently impact on the area including said seam line and adjacent said seam line and said width dimension substantially fits the bore of the barrel, said capsule containing colored water-soluble fill material for ejection therefrom upon rupture of said capsule upon impact on a soft solid target.
