Armour-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) is a type of ammunition designed to penetrate armored targets, such as tanks and fortified positions. It consists of a projectile (the "dart" or "penetrator") made from high-density materials, typically tungsten or depleted uranium, which is encased in a lightweight sabot. The sabot is a carrier that allows the projectile to be fired from a smoothbore or rifled gun.
