The round shot should be sewed up in canvas or felt, strapped to a sabot, or snaked between two grommet-wads. |
Modern guns will use a sabot or a pistol bullet, which come pre-packaged. |
Between the barrel and the air chamber is a thin plastic diaphragm, which isolates the sabot from the high pressure air until shot time. |
The sabot was a wooden disk about the same diameter as the shot. |
During the First World War it housed Belgian refugees, who made sabot clogs in the workshop of Arthur Simpson, renowned furniture designer and wood-carver. |
After the players have placed their bets, the dealer picks out three cards from the sabot putting them before him. |
