A projectile such as a paintball including a ball-shaped capsule and a round-shaped disc capable of facilitating accuracy of projectile travel direction is disclosed. The ball-shaped or substantial ball-shaped capsule, in one embodiment, having a head and a tail is able to store and deliver colored markers upon an impact between the projectile and an object. The round-shaped disc is positioned at a place so that allowing a portion of the round-shaped disc to extend above outer surface of the capsule. The disc is able to catch at least airflow when the projectile is launched. The round-shaped disc, in one example, uses the direction of the airflow to facilitate travel direction of the projectile.

1. A projectile capable of being launched by a paintball gun, comprising: a substantially ball-shaped capsule having a head and a tail, and able to store and deliver colored marker upon an impact between the head with an object;a driving band having a circular ring shape and configured to couple on top surface of the substantially ball-shaped capsule allowing at least a portion of the driving band protruding above the top surface, wherein the driving band is configured to facilitate air flow flowing from surface of the head toward surface of the tail crossing over the driving band; anda round-shaped disc coupled to the tail of the capsule and configured to include a set of blades wherein at least one portion of the blades extends above outer surface of the substantially ball-shaped capsule to catch at least a portion of airflow when the projectile is moving, wherein the round-shaped disc is able to utilize direction of the airflow to facilitate travel direction of the projectile. 2. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the round-shaped disc includes a coupler having a concave surface configured to receive the tail of the capsule. 3. The projectile of claim 2, wherein the round-shaped disc is configured to facilitate spinning motion of the projectile to enhance travel distance and accuracy of projectile direction. 4. The projectile of claim 2, wherein the concave surface of the coupler contains a hole allowing a portion of the tail of ball-shaped capsule to pass through. 5. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the driving band is installed in a circular circumferential undercut groove on the capsule. 6. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the driving band prevents at least a portion of compression gas leaking from a firing chamber to a barrel of paintball gun during a launching process. 7. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the driving band provides a gyroscopic stability to improve accuracy and distance of the projectile. 8. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the driving band is made of biodegradable materials. 9. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the round-shaped disc is configured to include a plurality of blades, wherein each of the plurality of blades has a blade tip edge, a blade body, and a blade exit edge, wherein the blade tip edge, the blade body, the blade exit edge, and a portion of capsule surface form an air channel for facilitating spinning motion of the projectile. 10. The projectile of claim 9, wherein the exit edges of the plurality of blades have curved shapes, wherein portions of the exit edges are commonly joined at a flat base plane. 11. A projectile capable of being launched by a projectile launcher, comprising: a capsule having an elongated spherical shape capable of storing and delivering colored marker upon breakage of the capsule;a driving band having a circular ring shape and configured to be installed in a circular circumferential undercut groove on the capsule allowing at least a portion of the driving band protruding above surface of the capsule, wherein the driving band is configured to facilitate air flow flowing from surface of the head toward surface of the tail crossing over the driving band; anda round-shaped disc coupled to the capsule and configured to include a set of blades wherein at least one portion of the blades extends above outer surface of the capsule to catch at least a portion of airflow when the projectile is moving, wherein the round-shaped disc is able to utilize direction of the airflow to facilitate travel direction of the projectile. 12. The projectile of claim 11, further comprising a second drive band having a circular ring shape and configured to be installed in a second circular circumferential undercut groove of the capsule. 13. The projectile of claim 11, wherein a portion of the driving band extends above surface of the capsule. 14. The projectile of claim 13, wherein a second portion of the driving band sinks into the surface of the capsule. 15. The projectile of claim 11, wherein the driving band prevents at least a portion of compression gas leaking from a firing chamber to a barrel of paintball gun during a launching process. 16. The projectile of claim 11, wherein the driving band provides a gyroscopic stability to improve accuracy and distance of the projectile. 17. The projectile of claim 11, wherein the round-shaped disc is configured to include a plurality of blades, wherein each of the plurality of blades has a blade tip edge, a blade body, and a blade exit edge, wherein the blade tip edge, the blade body, the blade exit edge, and a portion of capsule surface form an air channel for facilitating spinning motion of the projectile. 18. A paintball capable of being launched by a paintball marker, comprising: a capsule having an ellipsoid shaped body capable of delivering colored marker upon breakage of the capsule;a driving band having a circular ring shape and configured to be installed in a circular circumferential undercut groove on the capsule allowing at least a portion of the driving band protruding above surface of the capsule, wherein the driving band is configured to facilitate air flow flowing from surface of the head toward surface of the tail crossing over the driving band; anda disc coupled to the capsule and configured to include a plurality of blades, wherein each of the plurality of blades has a blade tip edge, a blade body, and a blade exit edge, wherein the blade tip edge, the blade body, the blade exit edge, and a portion of capsule surface form an air channel for facilitating spinning motion of the projectile. 19. The paintball of claim 18, wherein the disc is a round-shaped and configured to position the disc so that allowing a portion of the disc to extend above outer surface of the capsule to catch at least a portion of airflow when the projectile is moving, wherein the disc is able to utilize direction of the airflow to facilitate travel direction of the projectile. 20. The paintball of claim 18, wherein a first portion of the driving band extends above surface of the capsule and a second portion of the driving band sinks into the surface of the capsule.
