Abstract
A muzzle-loaded, fin-stabilized mortar round includes a projectile with a discarding sabot mounted thereon. The sabot includes one or more discrete sections that are circumferentially divided into a plurality of discrete sabot increments. In the case of more than one discrete section, the plurality of discrete sections are arranged longitudinally one after another in abutting relationship. Each sabot increment includes a base portion mechanically connected to the projectile and two opposing side portions mechanically connected to circumferentially adjacent sabot increments.
