Abstract (en)
In an ammunition round a bullet (1) has a plurality of elongate grooves (4) either helically formed or parallel with the longitudinal axis of the bullet and a sabot (6) which has a body (7) and fingers (9) which engage with the grooves and seal the bullet in a casing, the sabot having a slightly larger diameter than the bullet so that the sabot is engraved by the rifling slots in the barrel through which the round is to be fired, in order to rotate the bullet. A slug has grooves of the same kind as well as a sabot-like part or wad having fingers seated over the full length of the grooves, to prevent fitting of the slug on its way down the non-rifled barrel.
