1) I'm pretty sure that mini-guns do not use belts.
2) I'm positive that the M230 does not use a belt, the feed is described as "linkless". see:

The company, MWD, that makes the M230, describes its "linear linkless" ammo feed system in the following way:

"Linear Linkless”, which characterises the design of almost all MWD’s medium calibre ammunition handling systems, eliminates bullet links to maximize available space for ammunition storage as bullets move quickly and reliably along any line from storage to weapon.

I have seen Sabot rounds. I've even stuffed a few into a 120mm gun. I've fired a few out of a .50 cal muzzle loader and a 30-06.
I guess I don't understand the
concept of a 'sabot belt.' Is it there to feed the sabot rounds? Why wouldn't a normal belt work?
