Just something interesting.....

This is a slow-mo of a tank round being fired:

 

This appears to be some sort of fin-stabilized round (most likely since most, if not all, tank guns in US inventory are smoothbore).  I want to say that it's a sabot round, but I don't see the sabots being discarded.  Perhaps any of you readers out there (maybe someone who shoots these for a living) has a better idea about what this is....
