Abstract
A projectile launcher comprising an elongate barrel provided with a bore, a magnetic detent, an associated discarding sabot, and an associated subcaliber projectile. Pending launch, the magnetic detent exerts a magnetic restraining influence to hold the subcaliber projectile inside the bore within proximity of the sabot. Launch thrust overcomes the magnetic restraining influence of the detent upon the projectile, and the sabot separates from the projectile after launch under the influence of atmospheric drag.
