My brother came up with the idea to make a short range gun that just fires the burst from a sabot, would that be possible? If so how would i go about doin it?

[Harmful Mechanic]

There are two ways; you can make a weapon with five patterned and angled offsets set to LINKED fire mode in the .wpn file, or you can use a shotgun script. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

1) The first version requires no scripting or compiled code. You can do it in the Ship and Weapon Editor and be firing a spray of sabot projectiles with each trigger pull this evening.
2) The scripted version allows you to add velocity and angle variation to the cloud of Sabot projectiles. You can also incorporate other fun effects, and it might feel more like a Sabot detonation.

Which you choose is up to you as the modder.
