  • Projectile with a tubular-shaped projectile body
    Patent number: 4413565
    Abstract: Firing of a tubular-shaped projectile body containing a sharp-edged annular end surface previously created difficulties, because firing the end surface of the tubular-shaped projectile body was damaged by the sabot base portion by virtue of the large acceleration forces. This difficulty is avoided in that the invention contemplates incorporating an at least bipartite ring-shaped wedge member between a cone-shaped portion of the sabot base portion and a cone-shaped rear wall of the tubular-shaped projectile body.
