ABSTRACT:
Spin is imparted to a projectile within a smooth-bore barrel through the of a projectile-sabot system. The sabot, which substantially encloses the projectile, has a forward flange section which includes a plurality of nozzles which cause the sabot to operate as a centrifugal turbine. The sabot has grooves or slots on interior and/or exterior surfaces which fracture under the centrifugal forces which exist when the projectile-sabot system exits the smooth-bore barrel, thereby permitting the sabot to separate from the projectile after the desired spin has been imparted to the projectile.
