Zusammenfassung:A fuzeless target practice cartridge to produce a flash and smoke signal, upon impact of the projectile with the target. This is accomplished by the use of a controllably sensitized pyrotechnic composition, reactive on impact or abrasion, and an ogive-anvil-spike configuration designed to easily rupture upon a low-force impact. The system is made functional by a proper balancing of the sensitivity of the composition and the design of the ogive-anvil-spike configuration depending on the impact force available.
