Abstract
There is described a spin stabilized projectile assembly including a projectile, a sabot, and a guide ring. The projectile is provided with a shoulder at the rear end of which abuts the sabot, the projectile and sabot being connected by the guide ring which extends around the projectile and part of the sabot. The guide ring is arranged so that after the projectile assembly has been fired and has left the barrel of the weapon the sabot and the projectile separate. The sabot has a diameter substantially equal to that of the projectile; the guide ring is secured to the sabot against relative movement in a longitudinal direction but is rotatable with respect to the sabot.
