ABSTRACT:
An elastic puller sabot for use with a small caliber flechette to be laund from a bore of a launcher. The sabot comprises at least two portions, which, when placed together, have an interior surface conforming to the shape of the flechette, and an exterior surface conforming to the shape of the bore. The sabot preferably comprises a material which is capable of deforming elastically inward about the flechette, to grip it securely during launch, and outward toward the interior of the bore, to improve the sealing of the flechette in the bore, without the need for a retaining member.
