Target/room designation system for night time CQB. (Air or spring powered.)

Basic premise:
LEOs/Military Personnel would be using NVGs.
The system could be used to mark targets or cleared rooms, by spraying low-luminescent or IR-luminescent liquid (if using hybrid NVGs), or shooting a paintball with the same liquid. (Think 'glow stick' or IR 'glow stick'.)

Whether it would be useful in reality would have to be determined by the design and the engineer. But, it's an idea, nonetheless.

I guess it isn't far off from pepper spray, either...
