Luminescent paintball for marking nighttime impacts
First Claim
1. A spherical and easily crushable projectile with two separate chambers which contain two separate reactive chemicals that become a chemiluminescent light source when mixed on impact;
- comprising;
two separate individually sealed hemispheres which are fused together to form an accurate sphere which has two fused capping membranes to isolate said two separate reactive chemicals;
said two fused capping membranes each having a raised fusion rim which forms said separate individually sealed hemispheres into a perfectly round cross section and increases the fusion area of said fused capping membranes; and
said raised fusion rim including a small extended lip which contacts an increases the fusion rim to trimmed edges of said separate individually sealed hemispheres and extends all possible leakage points of said raised fusion rims to the outside of said spherical and easily crushable projectile.

Abstract
For use in marking nighttime impacts from easily ruptured paintball type projectiles that are fired from compressed air guns; this invention provides a double chamber projectile capsule that contains two chemical agents which, when mixed together on impact, provide a luminescent spot to visibly mark impacts at night; for police and military training, as well as the popular adult war games, based on the present paint ball and air gun equipment.
The unique modifications are designed to fit into the present standardized paintball specifications, without adding unusual expense. A double barrier feature assures necessary shelf life and complete separation of the reactive agents; as well as increased ease of loading the two chemical agents during manufacture.
