Practice round. The bullet lets it feed properly. A shredder is sometimes attached to the muzzle to make it less dangerous.

"Why would they make a wooden bullet?" Somewhere long ago, I'd read that the Germans experimented with them in WWII. Wooden bullets will typically splinter, and the fragments are difficult to impossible to detect via x-ray. Secondary infection becomes an additional problem as the wood rots in the body.
