The present invention discloses and claims an apparatus and method for delivering a wide array of selected agents to a target from stand-off distances. The apparatus includes a self-destruct frangible projectile made of primary, binding, and active components. The primary component generally has a specific gravity greater than lead, and the binding component generally has a specific gravity less than lead. The active component may be a metal for penetrating the target, a dye for optically marking the target, or another specially selected agent for delivery to the target, depending on the particular embodiment. The frangible projectile self-destructs upon contact with the target, in proximity to the target, or after passing the target, depending on the particular embodiment.

What is claimed is: 1. A self-destruct frangible projectile comprising: a. a ballistic shape having a front end, a distal end, and a longitudinal bore in said distal end, said ballistic shape comprising i. a primary component having a specific gravity greater than lead; and ii. a binding component
What is claimed is: 1. A self-destruct frangible projectile comprising: a. a ballistic shape having a front end, a distal end, and a longitudinal bore in said distal end, said ballistic shape comprising i. a primary component having a specific gravity greater than lead; and ii. a binding component having a specific gravity less than lead; iii. wherein said primary component and said binding component are cold-pressed together to form said ballistic shape; b. a penetrator in said longitudinal bore of said ballistic shape; c. an explosive charge proximate to said penetrator; and d. a detonator operatively connected with said explosive charge for igniting said explosive charge at a predetermined time, distance, or rotation of travel of said frangible projectile. 2. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 1, wherein sad primary component comprises particles having a diameter between approximately 0.001 and 0.040 inches. 3. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 1, wherein said frangible projectile has a specific gravity approximately equal to lead. 4. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 1, further including a retainer cup in said longitudinal bore for receiving said explosive charge. 5. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 1, wherein said detonator includes a timing mechanism for igniting said explosive charge at a predetermined time, distance, or rotation of travel of said frangible projectile. 6. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 1, wherein said penetrator comprises a plurality of washers. 7. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 6, wherein at least some of said washers are directly flush with one another. 8. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 1, wherein said primary component comprises at least one of tungsten, tantalum, or tungsten-carbide. 9. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 1, wherein said binding component comprises at least one of tin, aluminum, bismuth, copper, zinc, nylon, or polytetrafluoroethylene. 10. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 1, further including a full-metal jacket surrounding said front end of said ballistic shape. 11. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 1, further including a nose-piece proximate said front end of said ballistic shape. 12. A self-destruct frangible projectile comprising: a. a ballistic shape having a front end, a distal end, and a longitudinal bore in said distal end, said ballistic shape comprising i. a primary component having a specific gravity greater than lead; ii. a binding component having a specific gravity less than lead; and iii. a penetrator; iv. wherein said primary component, said binding component, and said penetrator are cold-pressed together to form said ballistic shape; b. an explosive charge in said longitudinal bore of said ballistic shape; and c. a detonator operatively connected with said explosive charge for igniting said explosive charge at a predetermined time, distance, or rotation of travel of said frangible projectile. 13. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 12, wherein said primary component comprises particles having a diameter between approximately 0.001 and 0.040 inches. 14. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 12, wherein said binding component comprises at least one of tin, aluminum, bismuth, copper, zinc, nylon, or polytetrafluoroethylene. 15. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 12, further including a retainer cup in said longitudinal bore for receiving said explosive charge. 16. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 12, wherein said detonator includes a timing mechanism for igniting said explosive charge at a predetermined time, distance, or rotation of travel of said frangible projectile. 17. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 12, wherein said penetrator comprises a plurality of washers. 18. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 17, wherein at least some of said washers are directly flush with one another. 19. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 12, further including a full-metal jacket surrounding said front end of said ballistic shape. 20. The self-destruct frangible projectile as in claim 12, further including a nose-piece proximate said front end of said ballistic shape.
