Abstract
A form-locking device for holding a sabot on a projectile body of a subcaliber inertial projectile consists of a metal strip round overlapping turns or endless metal rings in overlapping relationship formed on said body preferably with hot or cold working and previously provided with an outwardly open groove or formed with an outwardly working groove during the working operation to receive complementary ridge or projection of the sabot. The system avoids notching of the projectile body and lessening of the penetrability of the projectile.
