A missile to be fired from a barrel contains a tail, a tail sleeve attached to
the tail, a stop element fixed to the tail sleeve, and a movable structural part
disposed at the tail. Fin assembly wings are provided and are to be released from
a subcaliber launch position to an overcaliber functional position by the movable
structural part moving toward the stop element through a given distance. A pressure
area is disposed between the tail end surface and the movable structural part.
A propellant gas enters the pressure area during the firing of the missile, for
moving the movable structural part away from the tail end surface against the stop
element after firing. Bearing shafts are supported by the tail sleeve, the fin
assembly wings are configured as a wrap around tail fin assembly held about the
bearing shafts.
