hair dye works pretty well for making your own dyepacks.

Don't buy one of the 2.4 or even 5.8ghz analog cameras. Of 10,000 or so we shipped, every one of them came back in short order. We don't even sell that junk anymore. SuperCircuits is great if you want to overpay by 300%. The interference is stupid awful. If you're going to do wireless cameras (and why bother since you still need power?), do WiFi/IP.

I'd probably start with something like these:

[no idea on the company, just first google link]

This looks PERFECT for your request:

I edited with a video exploring the internals and what not. You might watch that, it appears it shouldn't be too hard to load it with most any powder or die.

Did I really just write "die" rather than "dye" [blush]

Looking at it, if the dye is heavy, you may need some kind of sabot or plunger in the bottom. I'd also test to see if it aerosolizes appropriately, you may need a fine screen, or bond it to a carrier, or something. Anyway, it's a start!

I suppose capsicum powder would render it a "booby trap" eh?

The pepper spray I use has a visible + uv dye. Might be worth looking into what dye they're using, it goes aerosol really well.
