ABSTRACT:
A sabot bullet having a bullet body with an improved configuration in the area at which the two conical parts of the bullet body are joined. A connecting part is provided between the parts which extend longitudinally of the bullet body and is integral with the adjacent ends of the conical parts. In a first embodiment, the connecting part is a cylindrical connecting member integral at its ends with the conical parts. In a second embodiment, the connecting part is an annular, solid extension having a traversely concave outer surface; thus, the extension represents a gradual change in the outer surface of the bullet body from one conical part to the other conical part. An improved sabot segment has ribs on the outer surface thereof. These ribs allow the sabot segment to be compressed or to yield when the sabot bullet is fired from a gun. The ribs extend longitudinally of the sabot segments and are preferably transversely semi-circular. End bands can also be provided with the ribs.
