My memories of SWAT are limited to the theme song and playing with plastic rifles, were there parachutes on the show or is this just yet another repurposed rack toy?

I watched the whole series a few years ago, and I sure don't remember anything parachuting.
Yeah I don't remember any parachuting in the TV show. My question is, what is this thing attached the the parachute? It looks like an inverted golf tee or something.
I think it's just a projectile that was made to fit into the launcher and designed to fly somewhat arrow-like (heavy nose, finned tail).
