An outer tube for a perforating gun is provided that includes an inner wall and an outer wall and also a wall thickness (D) and a length (L), wherein the outer tube has a hardness over its entire longitudinal extent along the length (L) and its transverse extent along the wall thickness (D), wherein the hardness of the outer tube is reduced, in at least one region, to an extent (T) measured from the outer wall to the inner wall, wherein, in this region, the outer tube has a reduced hardness (HV) on its outer wall, said reduced hardness being reduced in this region by at least 5% in relation to the hardness (H) of the inner wall.

1. An outer tube for a perforating gun, comprising: an inner wall and an outer wall and also a wall thickness and a length,a reduced hardness in at least one region of the outer wall, said reduced hardness extending into the wall thickness by an extent measured from the outer wall to the inner wall,
1. An outer tube for a perforating gun, comprising: an inner wall and an outer wall and also a wall thickness and a length,a reduced hardness in at least one region of the outer wall, said reduced hardness extending into the wall thickness by an extent measured from the outer wall to the inner wall, said reduced hardness is at least 5% less than a hardness of the inner wall, andwherein the at least one region having the reduced hardness is established by a deep decarburization such that the hardness across the wall thickness in the at least one region having reduced hardness decreases continuously from the inner wall to the outer wall. 2. The outer tube as claimed in claim 1, comprising a metal. 3. The outer tube as claimed in claim 2, comprising at least one of a steel and a steel alloy. 4. The outer tube as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extent measured from the outer wall to the inner wall is at least 200 μm and at most 50% of the wall thickness. 5. The outer tube as claimed in claim 4, wherein the reduced hardness of the outer wall is at least 10% less than the hardness of the inner wall. 6. The outer tube as claimed in claim 4, further comprising a 0.2% offset yield strength Rp,0.2 of at least 700 MPa. 7. The outer tube as claimed in claim 4, wherein the at least one region having the reduced hardness is only local and is enclosed all the way around a circumference thereof by regions of the outer wall with a hardness greater than the reduced hardness. 8. The outer tube as claimed in claim 4, further comprising: a multiplicity of depressions which extend radially from the outer wall in a direction of the inner wall. 9. The outer tube as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reduced hardness of the outer wall is at least 10% less than the hardness of the inner wall. 10. The outer tube as claimed in claim 9, further comprising a 0.2% offset yield strength Rp,0.2 of at least 700 MPa. 11. The outer tube as claimed in claim 9, wherein the at least one region having the reduced hardness is only local and is enclosed all the way around a circumference thereof by regions of the outer wall with a hardness greater than the reduced hardness. 12. The outer tube as claimed in claim 9, further comprising: a multiplicity of depressions which extend radially from the outer wall in a direction of the inner wall. 13. The outer tube as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a 0.2% offset yield strength Rp,0.2 of at least 700 MPa. 14. The outer tube as claimed in claim 13, wherein the at least one region having the reduced hardness is only local and is enclosed all the way around a circumference thereof by regions of the outer wall with a hardness greater than the reduced hardness. 15. The outer tube as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one region having the reduced hardness is only local and is enclosed all the way around a circumference thereof by regions of the outer wall with a hardness greater than the reduced hardness. 16. The outer tube as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a multiplicity of depressions which extend radially from the outer wall in a direction of the inner wall. 17. The outer tube as claimed in claim 16, wherein the at least one region having the reduced hardness is arranged outside the depressions. 18. The outer tube as claimed in claim 16, wherein the reduced hardness of a region is offset from a depression in a circumferential direction about a longitudinal axis of the outer wall. 19. The outer tube as claimed in claim 18, wherein the offset is between 60° and 120° about the longitudinal axis of the outer wall. 20. A perforating gun having an outer tube as claimed in claim 1 serving as a tubular housing, comprising: an inner part, which is arranged in the outer tube; andholders carrying explosive charges. 21. The outer tube as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a non-reduced hardness in at least one region of the outer wall, said non-reduced hardness extending through the entire wall thickness such that said non-reduced hardness is substantially the same as the hardness of the inner wall.
