Sabot for fin-stabilised ammunition

摘要

The invention relates to a sabot for fin-stabilized ammunition composed of segments assembled around a sub-calibrated penetrator. The sabot is characterized in that it comprises at least three longitudinal bars of a substantially constant width, each having indentations cooperating with an external profile of the penetrator to allow it to be driven, as well as a calibrated thrust plate integral with the bars. Application to projectile firings.
