Sabots shot from tanks are extremely accurate. The military loves them.

Sabots shot from small arms are not accurate. I give up.

My father [table pounding chief engineer] sold his gun designs at Rock Island Arsenal and Detroit Arsenal and tested them at the Yakima firing range and the Yuma firing range, in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's.
Some of his guns shot sabots.
He pronounces it SAY' bow.

I have just bought sabots mail order and only talk about them through my keyboard.
I pronounce it SA' bot.
