Abstract

Sabots for modern firearms, including both rifles and pistols, which have reduced friction thus imparting greater sub-caliber projectile velocity are made from a thermoplastic resin containing finely divided solid lubricant fillers. Preferably the forward end of the sabot is tapered to further reduce friction and improve cartridge feeding in automatic firearms.
