Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - S.L.A.P. rounds???
Posted: 1/31/2006 7:32:00 AM EDT
I recently saw some of these Sabot Light Armor Piercing rounds at a gun show. They were in 7.62 NATO nad appeared to be a solid steel 5.56mm projectile in a .30 cal plastic sabot. Anyone ever tried any of these? What kind of velocity do they achieve with that light round being fired from a 7.62 case? I am assuming they were originally designed for use in LMGs???

Supposedly, there are problems shooting a sabot load if you have a flash suppressor.....dunno, never tried it.....

i've read that these are unstable and start to tumble pretty quickly once they've been fired.  so i guess they are not that accurate, OR not as accurate for the price$$$  if you really wanna shoot SLAP, then get a 50 cal.  those SLAP rounds work better (more accurate).

The 7.62 S.L.A.P uses a Carbide core with the Sabot and required a faster twist. It was replaced with the M993 jacket carbide core.

What were the penetration specs for it? Muzzle Velocity?
