The International Application claims piceity of Norwegian Patent Application 20000735, filed Feb. 15, 2000. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION] silencer being ueanged so that emitted gas, caught Irom the ‘muzzle of the firearm afer a shot, can flow rearward in the sileneer or the reduction of undesied cawbacks, both to the person who shoots and tote environment round te shoot {ng site, in connection with aise from fiearm shooting, 3 umber of silencers are already available. Most of them ‘Work according to the prncple that emited gas should not flow fieely from the muzzle of the weapon ale the shot, but on the ier hand, be eaught by te silencer. Thereby sich catching of the emited gas, and possibly furthe teealment of the caught, cited gas in the silencer Wi ‘educe the nose efecto te fear. Some of the previously own silencers are adkitionlly consiucted so thatthe recoil effect of the weapon is damped. The effect inthe reduction of noise andlor recoil ean be Jmproved if the silencer is constructed so thatthe emited as, which is caught, flows rearward in the silencer. Examples of such silences with rearward flow of caught, mitted gas are showa ia U.S. Pat, Nos. 2644957, 1207, 264, 3,707,899 and 2,192,081. Defects of the known sinc ‘es are, however, partly that they have a dsproportiontely ‘complex consiniction, which inereases the manufacturing ‘oss arly tha he’ se heavy, Which undesirably increases the weight ofthe weapon, and parly that they undesirably increase the length of the weapon, as the major part of the silencer will be in font ofthe weapon muzzle which makes the weapon unsable ding shooting. RIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "ese al ply ee eG OH pen haw silencers, are remedied by the present silence, which Is characterized, according othe independent claim 1, by to for more separate camersbeing formed longitudinally i the Senes, he sleet Ue nunc so 4 are eat tis ‘hore will be atleast one chamber on either sie of the ‘muzae. Funbor the emitted gas is caught though holes Tormed in a boundary surface betwee hue in font uf Hae iuccle ant a ane tool the silencer, the holes extending radially through te boundary surface towards the bor, and being placed in cieumferen al rows spaced apart so thatthe holes in each cow will tmenge om the inside of te boundary surface twas the hore. Thea the portion of emitted gas caught i the is chamber io front af he muzzle flows rearward to the at east ‘ne ehmber bein the muzzle through openings formed in ‘muzzle or further rearward to atleast one further folowing ‘chamber through openings formed in surface between the first chamber and the frst following chamber, possibly he at Teast one 2 surfaces between such following chambers. Other advanta- {goous feizes of the invention appeae from the present ‘dependent Claims and atherwise fm the deserption By seas Of the present hiveinlont sence Is ies provided, which efficiently reduces both noise and recoil from the firearm. Moreover, the present silencer has a very simple construction, which doesnot undesirably add weight teeta te weapon, Moreover, the preset Sec eat be used on 8 number of differen types of fiearms without any degree of mosifistion woah mentioning, 20d afer ‘obtaining i, the user cin easly adapt the silencer tod ‘weapon it 'quesion ai the relevant appa OF ie weapon, BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING Inthe following the present invention will be described in further detail by means of an advantageous non-limiting ‘embodiment which appears rom the appended drawings, ‘which FIG. 1 shows side view of the present silences, which as five separate chambers filled with a sound-reducing material of aluminium chips, a longitudinal potion of an Configuration can partly be sbow in furtber detail, FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal erse-sectionl view of the present silence ited atthe muzzle ofa fiearm by meaos of {waded connsetion formed internally cn an inner slave of the silencer, the chambers being defied by diselke ‘urfaes extending berween the outer sleve and the innet ‘Sleeve, emited gs from shots being caught thovgh hoes ‘of mite gas caught in tbe first chamber lowing earwars to the chambers behind the muzzle though not shown ‘openings formed in the surface betwen the two chambers at bamibersbebind the muzzle: TIG. 3 is aside view ofthe inner sleeve of the present silence IG. 4 is «longitudinal cross-sectional view ofthe inner sleeve ofthe present silencer, IG.
