Jettisonable sabot for a subcaliber projectile. In a jettisonable sabot for a subcaliber projectile, which is fired from a weapon barrel having helical grooves, there is a risk that individual segments of a sabot body, strike the projectile body with their edges during the separation from the projectile body, with these impacts against the projectile body impairing the impact accuracy. In order to avoid these impacts, the parting planes or slots between the individual segments of the sabot body are not arranged radially, as in the past, but rather parallel with radial planes with a specified distance (d) corresponding to at least half of the radius (R) of the projectile body, with the slits between the segments of the sabot jacket preferably being arranged parallel to radial planes with a specified distance (d).

Sabot largable pour projectile sous-calibré. Dans un sabot largable pour projectile sous-calibré, tiré d'une arme à tube rainuré hélicoïdalement, il y a risque que certains segments du corps du sabot frappent le corps du projectile avec leurs bords durant la séparation du corps du projectile, de tels impacts sur le corps du projectile compromettant la précision du tir. En vue d'éviter ces impacts, les plans ou fentes de rupture entre les différents segments du corps du sabot ne sont pas disposés radialement, comme par le passé, mais plutôt parallèlement aux plans radiaux suivant une distance spécifiée (d) correspondant au moins à la moitié du rayon (R) du corps du projectile, les rainures entre les segments de la gaine du sabot étant de préférence disposées parallèlement aux plans radiaux suivant une distance spécifiée.
