Benefits of technology

[0009] The present ammunition reduces or eliminates the shortcomings identified above. Each round of the present ammunition utilizes a sabot as part of a solution to those shortcomings. As used in this document, a “sabot” is a structure that at least partially encases a bullet as the two travel down the muzzle of a weapon. The sabot should be discarded, or fall away from the bullet, after the bullet exits the muzzle. The present ammunition uses sabots that extend more forward than the bullets they at least partially encase. As a result, a round of the present ammunition that is placed in a tubular magazine is not likely to set off the primer of the round in front of it because the front end of the sabot, rather than the less forward front end of the point of the bullet, is in contact with the head of the more forward round. Consequently, using the present ammunition, it is possible to take advantage of the use of pointed bullets in tubular magazines without modifying any aspect of the firearm.

Problems solved by technology

Each was moderately successful, but neither has been able to curb the appeal of the “standard” lever action.
Thirty-caliber lever action carbines that utilize tubular magazines suffer from a drawback.
This situation invites disaster.

Embodiment Construction

[0032] In this document (including the claims), the terms “comprise” (and any form thereof, such as “comprises” and “comprising”), “have” (and any form thereof, such as “has” and “having”), and “include” (and any form thereof, such as “includes” and “including”) are open-ended linking verbs. Thus, a round of ammunition or an aspect of a round that “comprises,”“has,” or “includes” one or more elements possesses those one or more elements, but is not limited to possessing only those one or more elements.

[0033] For example, a sabot having a front end, a rear end and a cavity has at least a front end, a rear end and a cavity, but is not limited to only having a front end, a rear end and a cavity. For example, such a sabot may also have two or more arms.

[0034] The terms “a” and “an” mean one or more than one. The term “another” means at least a second or more. The term “multiple” means two or more. The term “substantially” means at least approaching a given state (e.g., preferably with...

Abstract

Ammunition utilizing sabots that extend more forward than the bullets they at least partially encase. The sabots may be formed from one or more pieces. The one-piece sabots may include one or more arms.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates generally to ammunition. More specifically, the invention relates to ammunition utilizing sabots that extend more forward than the bullets they at least partially encase. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] The years between the Civil War and the turn of the century were years of great innovation in the fields of firearms design and ballistic sciences. With the advent of self contained metallic cartridges, non-revolving cylinder repeating weapons became practical. Many new designs were tried and marketed, but only one has stood the test of time. From its genesis in the Henry Repeater to the present day Winchester® and Marlin® versions, the lever action carbine has earned and retained a place in the American Hunter's gun rack. The tubular magazine appears to be integral to the handling characteristics that have endeared lever actions to millions of hunters. Both Winchester® and SAVAGE ha...
