A sabot for propelling subcaliber projectiles in gun barrels, with the projectile being annularly surrounded by the sabot. The sabot, as viewed circumferentially, is shaped as at least a two part substantially cylindrical jacket provided with an annular flange disposed in a forward end thereof, which annular flange serves as a reinforcing and sealing plate. A further annular flange is provided in an area of the rear end of the cylindrical jacket, with a space between the two flanges being at least partially filled with hollow fibers made of, for example, glass, carbon, or the like, with the space extending from the outer edge of the sealing plate to the rear annular flange. The fibers are embedded in a matrix composed of, for example, a plastic material or an alloy.
