ABSTRACT:
A sabot body (4) is completely enclosed by the sabot casing (3) which partly also encloses the rear of the pointed projectile (1). The sabot body (4) has the shape of a one-part or multiple-part hollow body with circumferential grooves (5, 34), and an exterior diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the sabot casing. The sabot optimizes gas sealing, reduces weight, and reduces the risk posed by metal splinters.
