Abstract
The invention relates to a projectile () having a sub-caliber projectile core () and a guide cage or sabot () that comprises a driving element (), which acts on the projectile core () at the rear thereof and is in the form of a plate composed of metal. In order to produce such a projectile () at low cost, the projectile core () and the driving element (), which is in the form of a plate, are inserted as inserts into an injection-molding tool, and are extrusion-coated so that the injection-mold shape is chosen so that the contour of the guide cage or sabot () of the projectile () is produced after the injection-molding process.
