Sabot

A sabot, comprising:

• a plurality of sabot segments adjacent in a circumferential direction, each of the plurality of sabot segments comprising:
• a front push-part;
• a rear pull-part;
• a pressure flange between the front push-part and the rear pull-part,
• wherein the rear pull-part and the front push-part have recesses, which are open radially outwards, within the sabot segments, the recesses being delimited in the circumferential direction by struts extending in a shooting direction between a rear end of the rear pull-part and the pressure flange and between a front end of the front push-part and the pressure flange, in the front push-part, the recesses extending from the pressure flange along the front push-part to an end of the front push-part and in the rear pull-part, the recesses extending from the pressure flange along the rear pull-part to an end of the rear pull-part,
• wherein the plurality of sabot segments has a cylindrical-shaped portion at the rear end, the cylindrical-shaped portion having a low flexural resistance configured to roll during detachment of the plurality of sabot segments.

A sabot having a push-pull function, comprising:

• a plurality of sabot segments adjacent in a circumferential direction, each of the plurality of sabot segments comprising:
• a front push-part arranged in a shooting direction of the sabot;
• a rear pull-part arranged opposite the shooting direction of the sabot;
• and
• a pressure flange between the front push-part and the rear pull-part, wherein the front push-part has a first proximal end proximal to the pressure flange and a second distal end distal from the pressure flange, and the rear pull-part has a first proximal end proximal to the pressure flange and a second distal end distal from the pressure flange, the second distal end of the rear pull-part having a thinner wall thickness than the first proximal end of the rear pull-part,
• wherein the sabot has a cylindrical-shaped portion at the second distal end of the rear pull-part, the cylindrical-shaped portion being formed by the second distal end of the rear pull-part having the thinner wall thickness configured to roll during detachment of the plurality of sabot segments, and
• wherein the rear pull-part and the front push-part have recesses, which are open radially outwards, within the sabot segments, the recesses being delimited in the circumferential direction by struts extending in the shooting direction between a rear end of the sabot and the pressure flange and between a front end of the sabot and the pressure flange, in the front push-part, the recesses extending from the pressure flange along the front push-part to the second distal end of the front push-part and in the rear pull-part, the recesses extending from the pressure flange along the rear pull-part to the second distal end of the rear pull-part.
