1. A tracer and site identification elongated projectile that provides a light trace of a trajectory of the projectile in flight, and that further provides site identification capability, including:a hollow front end comprising a transparent or translucent plastic windshield having disposed therein: at least one breakable vial storing liquid chemiluminescent reagents; and an oxalate ester powder surrounding the vial, wherein the vial breaks on setback impact that is exerted on the projectile during firing and initial launch, causing the liquid chemiluminescent reagents to mix with the surrounding oxalate ester powder to form a mixture that provides a lighted trace of the projectile flight, and to mark a target area when the projectile breaks upon impact with a target area, and a metallic rear projectile body attached to a rear end of said windshield.
