I believe a blank firing mechanism could be screwed on to the end of the barrel to pulverize the wooden bullets. The cap was to protect the threads.

Or a legal suppressor! In the US there's a federal background check and a $200 one time tax. Only problem is that I don't think any of the off the shelf supressors have the proper thread- but I haven't really checked. An adaptor would be easy enough.
The main functional concern is whether the threads are parallel and concentric to the bore; a blank adaptor wouldn't have to be all that precisely attached.
