3D Printed Mini Shotgun Rounds
In a Youtube video, Taofledermaus displays how a brass headed mini-arrow with 3D printed base and sabot does on the firing range. With only three shots to get it right, the first two are shot at a target 15 yards away, yielding good results. For the final shot, the target was 30 yards away, giving the arrow the time and space it needed to take flight. The only downside is that so many of the arrow parts are black that it's hard to tell what' what when the arrow impacts the target. Otherwise, this is a great example of 3D printing aiding the ballistics side of 3D printed firearms. More info on these rounds can be found here: http://3dprint.com/66831/3d-printed-shotgun-rounds/
Below is a picture of these 3D printed mini rounds. What do you think?

It's a sabot , and the title is way misleading. Anything could be shaped to use as a sabot, yes even towel, plastic junk could be used as a sabot. The whole round is machined, fletching and shaft is noewhere close to 3D printing.
