A sabot is made of plastic?
The exact nature of a sabot's construction depends on its use. In modern eras rifle sabots are generally made out of plastic. Sabots for artillery pieces are generally metal of some sort. In older weapons such as those from the Napoleonic Era wooden sabots were the most common. There have however been many variations through time. Sabot construction is determined by factors such as if it can survive contact with rifling (if any is present), if it can withstand the high gas pressures long enough to exit the barrel, what effect it will have on the barrel, and a host of other factors. Plastics tend to be used in modern smallarms because with the proper application they can survive the process long enough to do their job, are inexpensive, and do not cause unusual wearing on a rifled barrel the way certain metals can. They do however have their limits. The US military once experimented with 7.62mm sabots to fire 5.56 rounds from the M-60 and discovered that it was a bad idea. Namely because the heating of the barrel would cause the sabots to melt, and that melted plastic would soon clog the barrel of the weapon.
