View source for Wadding

'''Wadding''' is essentially a [[sabot]] that merely fits behind the projectiles, and it preforms essentially the same function, but is easier to construct than an enclosing sabot.

They are often used to keep a delicate projectile from exploding upon firing, and/or to seal up small power-sapping gaps between projectile and [[barrel]]. [http://www.spudfiles.com/spudtech_archive/viewtopic.php?t=129 common waddings].
