Simulated war game weapon

Abstract

A weapon for use in simulated war games, such weapon being particularly usable in situations where targets or opposing pesonnel are out of a direct line of sight or where weapon use in a conventional manner would be otherwise dangerous and should be avoided. Such weapon includes a frangible chamber and a slurry contained within such chamber. The slurry contains a dispersing agent and a plurality of particles serving as a marking agent. Further, a storage container is provided for receiving the slurry-containing frangible chamber to protect the chamber from accidental rupture. In use, the slurry-containing chamber is removed from the container and delivered toward the target by being manually tossed in an arcuate path to strike a target or the vicinity thereof. On striking such target, or its vicinity, the frangible chamber ruptures and the dispersing agent disperses the marking particles against such target thereby identifying the target as being eliminated from the game. As such the weapon emulates a manually deliverable grenade.
