A projectile with an Air Pressure Wave Generator, a battery, fuze, safe and arm system, detonator system, and ancillary circuitry. The Air Pressure Wave Generator contains a supersonic or subsonic nozzle, an ogive, and a secondary propellant chamber, which contains a conventional high explosive and is consistent with the "form-fit" of the weapon rifling system, and designed so as to produce the desired Air Pressure Wave impulse on the target. The projectile also has chemical agent(s) and marker(s) inside the secondary propellant chamber, and/or inside the Air Pressure Wave Generator section that is located intermediate between the nozzle and projectile housing. The types and amounts of chemical agent(s) and marker(s) are consistent with the Air Pressure Wave Generator design to entrap the chemical agent(s) and marker(s) in the core or central section of the APW packet. The properties and parameters of the chemical agent(s) and marker(s) are chosen to produce the desired target effects and minimize unwanted spillage.
