<p>[QUOTE=&quot;UnCommonCents, post: 2408528, member: 73404&quot;]A Sabot is a projectile. Sometimes rifled for use in a smooth bore shotgun. Usually just a chunk of lead though either jammed in the end of a shell or by itself for use with a muzzle loader. In this case the projectile is a nail. The red fins are more of a wad so the power of the blank doesn&#039;t just blow around the nail. The primer cap doesn&#039;t shoot anything other than a spark to ignite the powder in the blank. And I agree the cents were definitely used as a washer. I&#039;ve also seen them used as shims[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
