Gun at the far background is the M230 30mm Bushmaster, used in the Apache attack helicopter.

In the middle is the XM813 30mm / 40mm Bushmaster III, meant for the M1296 Stryker Dragoon.

Closest to the camera is the XM913 50mm Bushmaster III+.

Question: Is the below a Sabot round?:

Whoa! That is one bad ass round. Pretty sure that will penetrate most current armor. Depends on velocity and mass but, that's an impressive deer slayer.
Being on the receiving end of that would definitely cause some major damage.

In military speak, that's APDS (armor piercing discarding sabot).
