Methods of mass-producing luminescent projectiles and luminescent projectiles mass-produced thereby

A method of mass-producing one-way luminescent projectiles, comprising steps of:

• providing projectiles each comprising a body having a nose and a trailing end including a perimeter edge and a rear surface, wherein the body is symmetrical about an axis that extends centrally through the body from the nose to the rear surface and the rear surface extends radially outward from the axis toward the perimeter edge;
• providing a baseplate including an upper surface and cavities that open upwardly to the upper surface, each of said cavities configured to receive and hold one of said projectiles in a nose down, trailing end up orientation;
• depositing the projectiles nose down into the respective cavities, each said cavity holding one said projectile in the nose down, trailing end up orientation extending upright from the nose in the cavity to and beyond the upper surface to the trailing end and the rear surface exposed above the upper surface;
• depositing a quantity of a hardenable photoluminescent material centrally on each said rear surface, the quantities being identical and hardening over a period of time;
• and
• maintaining the projectiles in the nose down, trailing end up orientation during at least said period of time such that each quantity of photoluminescent material forms an identical solid photoluminescent body adhered to the respective rear surface, that is concentric with, and extends outwardly no further than, the perimeter edge, and radially symmetrical relative to the axis.
