Yep, technically you can do a short range test without the sabot too ;)

The fact that painting it seems to have given it a distinct rimmer "head" doesn't help in the least :s

Assuming it doesn't bury itself, it will certainly make it easier to spot in a field...

Are you suggesting she could "wear" it and it would work as a "wife finder" :D

Yep, in an epoxy sarcophagus ;)

Not sure I understand the question. The idea behind the projectile is similar to what I've done in the past:

Instead of using two sets of fins I just put a wide set at the back, it should be stable both in the barrel and in flight.

the fins just look a bit small for the big pleasure device. i was just qurious if the projectile is stable inside the barrel.

There's quite a bit of torque on the fins but they're also quite wide and a tight fit, so it should cause some friction but still be stable.

Here is a preliminary drawing of a MrC RF projectile 49.8mm caliber.
The miniboy could fit into the payload section.
It is about 2.5 times larger than miniboy.
