The hood is coupled to the sabot and/or the projectile and is separable therefrom. The sabot is provided with at least one bore extending in the longitudinal direction and arranged for exposure to propellant gases upon firing of the sabot projectile from the barrel of a weapon and for directing the propellant gases onto the hood for accelerating the hood relative to the projectile while the sabot projectile is within the barrel of the weapon.
