To reduce the mass of a sabot (20, 30) having a push function and a pull function, it is proposed that the sabot (20, 30) comprise mutually separate sabot parts (5, 6, 14', 15'), wherein at least one sabot part (5, 14') is configured in such a way that it performs the pull function, and wherein at least one sabot part (6, 15') is configured in such a way that it performs the push function. For this purpose, the sabot parts (5, 6, 14', 15') are nested. This can be implemented in the form of cylindrical nesting or in the form of tangential nesting. In the case of the cylindrical nesting, the outer sabot part (6) encloses the inner part (5) along an interface (24). In the case of the tangential nesting, the sabot parts (14', 15') are divided into sabot subsegments (14, 15). The latter are nested in alternating fashion in the tangential direction, with the result that a pull-sabot subsegment (14) and a push-sabot subsegment (15) are always nested in alternating fashion in the circumferential direction. To provide sufficient sealing, the sabot subsegments (14, 15) overlap one another.

The case (3) and the transition part (8) form the interface (21). The case (3) and the transition part (8) are conically designed or shaped (10, 11) in their common connection zone (9). Locking grooves (12, 13) and feed grooves (14, 15) are provided within the interface (21). The grooves (12, 13, 14, 15) are introduced on the outer circumference of the transition part (8) and inside the case (3), respectively. The transition part (8) has a thread (16) which can be connected to a thread of the guide system part (4). The two feed grooves (14, 15) form, situated one above the other, a common feed groove (17). The locking grooves (12, 13) are coincident such that they can jointly receive a locking cylinder (18). On penetration of the projectile (1) in a target, the locking cylinder (18) breaks, as a result of which the projectile head (2) separates from the guide system part (4). In the most favourable case, the guide system part (4) and transition part (8) remain caught in the target, while the projectile head (2) can take full effect in all directions in the target.
