If you make the wax slightly larger than the barrel bore, a "potato" a like air-tight fit can be archived. I was able to shot through a laptop screen with a nail using 3 bar with a 1.5l water bottle 3/4 ball valve gun, the tight fit completely compensated the slow opening valve. Check the shot at the end of the video, you can notice a delay between fully open the valve and the shot.I was quite surprised at how effective and tough the sabots are. Although the wood was probably only radiata pine (i.e. a soft wood), I was pleased with the .223 and crossbow bolt penetration. The slug filled with 3mm BBs was also quite cool as the entry hole was the size of the wax slug but inside the hole the BBs had expanded out and formed a BB ring like a bearing.
As you've already demonstrated, wyz, these slugs are suitable even for hybrids.
