wadding

wadding
Noun

This term describes a mass of loose, fibrous material designed to fill voids or provide thermal protection. It carries a tactile connotation of softness and compressibility, typically associated with industrial textiles, cotton, or synthetic fibers used in quilting and garment construction.

In a ballistic context, the word refers specifically to the structural plug used in firearms. This usage is highly technical and distinct from the general cushioning sense, focusing on the mechanical necessity of sealing a propellant charge rather than providing comfort or warmth.
