| Zusammenfassung: | A sabot 1 is engaged with a case 3 of the ammunition round so as to form a primer pocket 4 containing a charge 5.

The round is formed so that when it is fired combustion products proceed through the channel 6 and by acting on the peripheral side part of the sabot 1 cause a forward part to break away and be propelled while leaving the rearward part to be left attached to the case 3. |
