  • the bolts must only be inserted through bores formed perpendicular to the running direction. This simplifies the production.
  • the design is advantageous in that a rotation by at least 90 ° for a latching must be carried out.
  • the projections have a respective inclined surface, which leads to a Verrastnut, in which the bolts are in their engagement with the engagement member.
  • a sealing ring is arranged to seal against the expansion chamber, since in this way the escape of gases in the direction of the user of the firearm is prevented.
  • a molding in particular in the form of a grub screw, which in an asymmetric engages formed at the connection device exemption.
  • the connecting bores extending from a firing channel to the expansion chamber and / or the reflection chamber are radially widening, in particular funnel-shaped , are designed.
  • the expansion module detachable from the muffler, in which the expansion chamber is arranged it is possible to achieve a reduction in the overall length of the muffler, since the expansion module can be located outside the barrel of the firearm, so that the muffler in principle passes over the firearm to which it is mounted extends.
