Abstract: A projectile configured to illuminate upon impact with a target following a launch event. A launch sensor is configured to cause a processor to transition from a sleep state to a working state in response to a launch event. The processor then provides electrical power to an accelerometer. The accelerometer detects the rotation and/or the deceleration of the projectile to determine if the projectile has been launched, is rotating as expected, and has impacted an object within a predetermined time. Responsive to determining that the rotation and/or deceleration thresholds have been met, the processor is configured to provide electrical power to one or more of the plurality of illumination elements.

Abstract: A case is formed of a side wall with a front and rear end having a base. A projectile is formed of a side wall with a front end having a shaped section and a rear end with a base. The projectile is positioned within the case with the rear end of the projectile spaced from the rear end of the case to form a rearward chamber. A firing assembly includes a charge within the rearward chamber and a firing means. An illumining assembly is positioned within the projectile and includes a source of illumination. An electrical assembly includes a printed circuit board, a sensor, a timer, a battery, a controller, and a receiver to illuminate the sources of illumination following igniting the charge to activate the sensor and passage of time as determined by the timer.
