(b) a plurality of plies of a second fibrous material, wherein each fiber of the second fibrous material is oriented nonparallel to the longitudinal axis and substantially parallel to every other fiber of the second fibrous material. The total number of plies in each repeating structure is at least five (5). The invention is also directed to an APFSDS kinetic energy tank projectile that utilizes the above-described sabot.
