I read on at least one site that the wood heads were used in filming, but admittedly, I don't know what time period it referred to. Presumably, it was during the very, very early days of film.

Also, I remember watching "Little Ceasar", and the Tommy Gun used at the end of that movie has a BFA that looks very similar to the devices I mentioned earlier (the type that shreds wood projectiles as they exit the muzzle).
