For the simple application of layer materials that melt at high temperatures to the inside surface (5) of the gun barrel (1), with the internal-stress state of the barrel (1) only being influenced to a small extent by the heat input, the coating is applied to the inside surface of the respective barrel (1) through plasma spraying, and simultaneously directing a laser beam (7) toward the inside surface (5) of the barrel (1), to melt the near-surface gun-barrel region (10) that is already coated or is to be coated. This causes the formation of a molten bath (11) that contains the melted gun-barrel material and the layer material in the near-surface region (10) of the barrel, with the bath hardening as the laser beam (7) continues to move.
