definitely the second one - having more than one chamber within the silencer will make it more effective than the first one, while the others with holes in the outer tube of silencer make it next to useless.

You might also want to alter the spacing between the wooden discs, different chamber volumes usually make silencers more efficient.

edit - the discrepancy between the 4mm holes and 22mm barrel is a bit too big. You might want to make larger holes (about 6-8mm), alternatively make a large quantity of smaller holes. Remember the holes have to be filed smooth to avoid interfering with the projectile's travel.

Did you check the second page? I posted something 3 times in a row till I realised it was on the second page.
