The name 'sabot' (pronounced / ˈ s æ b oʊ/ SAB-oh in English usage) is the French word for clog (a wooden shoe traditionally worn in some European countries). Before this, primitive wooden sabots had been used for centuries in the form of a wooden plug attached to or breech loaded before cannonballs in the barrel, placed between the propellant charge and the projectile. Germany developed modern sabots under the name ' treibspiegel' ('thrust mirror') to give extra altitude to its anti-aircraft guns during the Second World War. This leaves the projectile traveling at high velocity with a smaller cross-sectional area and reduced aerodynamic drag during the flight to the target (see external ballistics and terminal ballistics). Once the shell clears the barrel, the sabot is no longer needed and falls off in pieces. Firing a small-diameter projectile wrapped in a lightweight outer shell, called a sabot, raises the muzzle velocity. High muzzle velocity is achieved by using a projectile with a low mass and large base area in the gun barrel.
