Lightfield Slugs specializes in manufacturing the hardest hitting, most accurate
saboted slugs available to today's hunters for use in their rifled shotgun barrels.
The various slugs that make up the product line of Lightfield slugs utilize two
distinctly innovative designs, each design functioning similarly to the other
to produce superior accuracy even at extended ranges. During that all-important
split second immediately after a slug is fired and prior to its exiting the barrel,
each design ensures that maximum spin is imparted to the locked sabot/slug assembly.
Once free of the gun barrel the designs produce incredible projectile stability
through both the supersonic and especially the subsonic phases of the slug's flight.
Lightfield slugs will provde maximized projectile spin rate and flight stability.
The Lightfield Hybred EXP Design |
 |
The Lightfield Hybred EXP (Maximum Expansion) cartridge
has a two-sided sabot that keys to four tabs on the slug itself [1][2].
|
 |
Just like a badminton birdie the lighter wad or 'shuttlecock'
stays attached to the slug while in flight, giving the projectile stability
while supersonic and prevents shockwave deflection when the projectile becomes
subsonic [4].
|
 |
When the shell is fired the pressure pushes the wad forward,
locking the slug and sabot together, and forces the locked sabot/slug assembly
to expand to the full barrel diameter and spin together as one unit [3]. |
 |
Upon impact the maximum expansion of the soft lead slug
(essentially a .62 caliber bullet) produces devastatingly lethal results.
The Lightfield Hybred EXP is "The Standard by Which Other Slugs
are Judged.". |
|
The Lightfield Commander IDS Design |
 |
The Lightfield Commander IDS (Impact Discarding Sabot)
cartridge has a sabot with four grooves on the inside [1]. |
 |
The Lightfield IDS stays together as one projectile while
in flight and, just like a badminton birdie, the lighter sabot gives the
projectile stability while supersonic and prevents shockwave deflection
when the projectile becomes subsonic [3].
|
 |
When the shell is fired the pressure causes lead from the
slug to expand into these grooves, effectively locking the slug and sabot
together, and forces the locked sabot/slug assembly to expand to the full
barrel diameter and spin together as one unit [2]. |
 |
Upon impact, the soft lead actually mushrooms out of the
top of the slug, producing controlled expansion. When you hit a big game
animal with what is essentially a .73 caliber bullet, the results are devastatingly
lethal [4]. |
