A sabot (UK: / sæˈboʊ, ˈsæboʊ /, US: / ˈseɪboʊ /) is a supportive device used in firearm / artillery ammunitions to fit/patch around a projectile, such as a bullet / slug or a flechette -like projectile (such as a kinetic energy penetrator), and keep it aligned in the center of the barrel when fired.

Armor-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) is a type of spin-stabilized kinetic energy projectile for anti-armor warfare. Each projectile consists of a sub-caliber round fitted with a sabot.

With a sabot it is possible to launch most regular and irregular shapes and subcaliber projectiles over a wide range of velocities. The sabot positions and supports the projectile during launch. It seals, or obturates, the driver gases within the launch tube. Imperfect.

2021年8月1日 · The aerodynamic interactions between the sabot and the projectile when they are in close proximity are critical when it comes to the dispersion accuracy of the projectile. The leading edge sabot shock impinges on the projectile surface and further reflects on the sabot and again reflects on the projectile.

2013年11月22日 · A very uncommon — and until now unique — discarding sabot airgun projectile (Sussex Sabo Bullet) was introduced into the market in the 1980s. The projectile, available in 0.177 (4.5 mm) and 0.22 (5.5 mm) caliber, consists of a plastic sabot cup surrounding a subcaliber copper-coated lead projectile in typical bullet shape.

sabot’s bore riding structures, and if the penetrator mass is small, the relatively heavy sabot petals can disturb penetrator flight at discard. To reduce sabot mass in these cases, a technique has been developed to ‘retrofit’ a 120-mm sabot to a 7” HARP gun by adding a plastic carrier to the sabot as illustrated in Figure 1.

The 25mm Armor-Piercing, Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with tracer (APFSDS-T) M919 has been designed and developed to replace the currently fielded M791 cartridge as the service armor piercing...

2018年5月8日 · Abstract: The process of the sabot discard of an electromagnetic integrated launched projectile (EMILP) has a great effect on the operational effectiveness of integrated launched projectile (ILP). Aiming at the characteristics of high-velocity discard, strong muzzle magnetic field of the EMILP, a coupled model of magnetic field and flow field ...
