A non-lethal projectile consisting of a solid capsule filled with a flowable payload. The solid capsule comprises a weakened area that ruptures upon impact with a target. The solid capsule also comprises an internal hydrodynamic structure. At the moment of impact, the internal hydrodynamic structure forces the radial movement of the flowable payload, from the center to the periphery, against the weakened area of the solid capsule, facilitating the rupture and reducing the pressure of projectile's point over target's surface.

I claim: 1. A projectile consisting of a solid capsule filled with a flowable payload, said solid capsule comprising: a) a point that is the part of the solid capsule which is closer to the target at the moment of impact b) a single weakened area that is less resistant than the rest of the solid capsule, is located adjacent to the solid capsule's point, is the only part of the solid capsule which completely collapses upon impact, ruptures from inside to outside because of the payload's pressure at the moment of impact, the weakened area being one of material being thinner than the rest of the solid capsule, is made of less resistant material than the rest of the solid capsule, or has multiple grooves on it for stress concentration c) a base that keeps its shape upon impact and is the part of the solid capsule which is more distant to the target at the moment of impact d) an internal hydrodynamic structure, consisting of a cone that is coaxial to the projectile, is pointed in the opposite direction of the capsule's point, is immersed in direct contact with the payload, is made of a lighter or same density material in relation to the payload's density, has direct contact with all the flow of the payload at the moment of impact, and radially diverges from the center to the periphery this entire flow directly to a single weakened area e) a resistant area that is more resistant than the weakened area, is located adjacent to the solid capsule's base and keeps its shape upon impact. 2. The projectile of claim number 1, wherein said payload is a dye. 3. The projectile of claim number 1, wherein said payload is a high density fluid. 4. The projectile of claim number 1, wherein said payload is a non-lethal incapacitating agent. 5. The projectile of claim number 1, further comprising a column that is placed along the projectile axis, from the internal hydrodynamic structure to the capsule's base, and reinforces the solid capsule, preventing it from changing its shape upon the impact. 6. The projectile of claim number 5, wherein projectile's payload is a dye. 7. The projectile of claim number 5, wherein projectile's payload is a high density fluid. 8. The projectile of claim number 5, wherein projectile's payload is a non-lethal incapacitating agent.
