An apparatus for efficiently and accurately launching subcaliber projectiles comprises:
an elongate barrel;an associated discarding sabot; andan associated subcaliber projectile.
In one embodiment, the sabot includes a registration means adapted to limit lateral displacement of the projectile while simultaneously permitting the projectile to touch the inner surface of the bore of the barrel. An alternative embodiment includes a magnetically attractable portion incorporated into the projectile and a magnetic detent for holding the projectile within the barrel bore in readiness for launching. Other alternative embodiments are disclosed. |
