ABSTRACT:
A sabot adapted to be attached to a subcalibre projectile comprises a generally cylindrical tubular member having a plurality of elongated axially-directed slots passing completely through the member in a radial direction with the slots extending from one end of the cylindrical member toward, but terminating short of, the other end of the member to define a plurality of spaced, elongated axially directed segments which are integral with an unslotted portion of the member adjacent its other end. The unslotted portion acts as an obturator, and the dimensions of the unslotted portion and of the segments are so selected that centrifugal and/or airflow forces acting on the segments after the projectile has been fired operate to break the unslotted portion of the sabot into pieces to separate the sabot from the projectile.
