Precision Spin Stabilization for 37mm Platforms
The accuracy of the Sage 37mm Rifled system relies entirely on its ability to impart spin to the projectile, preventing the baton from tumbling in flight. A tumbling less-lethal baton drastically loses accuracy and risks striking a target edge-first, which can cause unintended lethal trauma. The Sage Control Ordnance RB-1 rotating band is the exact consumable component that prevents this. When training divisions rebuild spent 37mm casings, replacing deformed or worn bands with fresh RB-1 bands ensures the rebuilt KO1 baton engages the launcher’s rifling perfectly, maintaining the exact point-of-aim/point-of-impact reliability of factory duty ammunition.
Advanced Component Architecture & Obturation
-
Dual-Band Bore Alignment: The KO1 baton architecture specifically requires two (2) RB-1 rotating bands per projectile. This dual-band setup ensures the baton remains perfectly centered as it travels down the bore, eliminating internal yaw and maximizing ballistic consistency.
-
Positive Gas Obturation: Beyond engaging the rifling, the RB-1 band acts as a critical gas seal (obturation ring). By preventing expanding propellant gases from bypassing the projectile, it ensures consistent velocity (FPS) shot after shot, which is critical for accurate less-lethal targeting at varying distances.
-
Durable Polymer Construction: Manufactured from high-density, low-friction polymer designed to grip the rifling tightly without causing excessive wear or permanent lead/polymer fouling inside the launcher’s barrel during high-volume training days.
