Abstract
A self-separating sabot-projectile assembly with a positive engaging attachment to eliminate rotational slippage between the sabot and projectile. The torque transmitting interface between the sabot and projectile consists of a geometric shaped depression in the rearward end surface of the projectile which mates with a matched projection of the sabot. The sabot projection is hollowed out to allow the charge pressure to aid in the engagement of the sabot and projectile.
