ABSTRACT:
A one piece injection molded sabot with several channels on the inner diaer thereof. The channels run parallel to the fore and aft axis of the sabot. The ambient air rammed into the channels just after firing causes dilation of the sabot and results in rapid disengagement of the sabot and its associated projectile, thus minimizing interference with the desired trajectory of the projectile.
