A cartridge incorporating a projectile assembly, the projectile assembly having a base, mid body component housing a marking powder and lighter metallic nose cap. The projectile's mid-body component undergoes wall failure at impact, the wall failure is induced as forward momentum of the base and other residual forces act to expel the marking powder from the projectile, the manner of ejection suspending a low density material with contrast dye, in the vicinity of the impact, providing a gunner with visual cue in regard to a projectile's impact location.

The invention provides a simulated training ammunition automatic launching system. It can mimic the effect of explosive detonation in close quarters battles without causing any casualties, and can ignite the fuze and launch the practice bomb without gunpowder involved. The technical proposal of the invention is that: the simulated training ammunition automatic launching system comprises launchers, controls, simulated training ammunition. Simulated training ammunition comprises shells, bomb cores and fuze. The cylinder sidewall is equipped with air inlet ports which connect the cylinder cavity and the launcher cavity. The lower part of the cylinder is connected to a high pressure gas holder by a windpipe and a normally closed electrical magnetic valve. The invention can automatically recognize the targets, fire and detonate ammunition. It uses no gunpowder, gives no security risks, and is safe, reliable, and easy to operate. It is suitable for mass civilian production.

A method for making an object (e.g., a projectile) includes preparing a premixture of a first metal powder having a first particle size, a second metal powder having a second particle size, and a polymer binder; compressing the premixture in a mold at a pressure of about 75 psi to about 500 psi and a temperature of about 15 C. to about 40 C. to form a projectile preform; and heating the projectile preform at a temperature of about 80 C. to about 350 C. for about 0.5 minutes to about 30 minutes. The polymer binder may include a dry powder coat. The object may have a density between 1 and 4 g/cm.sup.3.
