{{Esbozo}}{{construction}}
A '''Sabot Shell''' is a tank round consisting of a high density, dart-like kinetic energy penetrator (KEP), propellant, and a ''sabot'' (shoe). The sabot itself is a shroud that aligns and guides the KEP through the cannon barrel, allows it to be propelled, and separates from the KEP after exiting the barrel. The KEP is typically made of materials such as tungsten or depleted uranium, and imparts destructive power primarily through momentum alone. Secondary damage may be caused by heat and pressure imparted onto the penetrated armor and the KEP itself.

Examples of such a weapon include the American [[wikipedia:M829|M829]] APFSDS. The basic design is emulated in other munitions such as the 25mm [[APFSDS-T Shell]] and [[12 Gauge Flechette]] shells.

==Battlefield 3==
The '''Sabot Shell''' may have been used throughout the campaign mission "[[Thunder Run]]". Though the display indicates an [[120mm AP Shell|AP round]] is in use, [[Ingham]] (the loader for [[Jonathan Miller|Miller's]] crew) states that sabot rounds are loaded. Indeed, the tank rounds in this mission do not follow the same ballistic path of regular AP rounds.

The '''Sabot Shell''' appears in ''[[Battlefield 4]]'' as a primary weapon specialization for [[main battle tank]]s. It has higher velocity than the standard AP shell, and inflicts more damage against armor, but lacks the AP shell's explosive power.
