Abstract

A sabot projectile with a propulsion mechanism for utilization in a liner for a barreled firing apparatus. In the projectile, the propellent cage for a projectile with a propulsion mechanism includes hinge-like segments articulated forwardly in the firing direction, which encompass the projectile about the circumference thereof and are rotatable therewith, inasmuch as the segments are held together through the intermediary of a retainer ring.
