Pretty hard to tell or guess...but for the time period I assume you served and the unit the device was at, I would guess it was a early KAC device. Knight has made many unusual devices over the years. I frequently stumble upon things I never knew he did.
It likely had some baffles in it. However empty tubes do suppress some what. They also would assist in dramatically reducing muzzle flash. For example, the CZ scorpion machine pistol uses a empty can. Seems to work strictly off of volume.
Peregrino, Frostfire,
I have huge respect for the competence of the Marines and Small Arms. I took a small arms course with them awhile back. I was stunned at how competent the SGT/E5 instructors were. They were exceptionally technically proficient, were very professional, and had a number of deployments under their belts. It really blew me away. No disrespect to the rest of the Army, but my thought at the time was the Marine SGTs act as you would expect a Army E7 to act. Thats from my side of the fence though. I am sure other Army MOSs are different. I will also say it caused me to take pause and take a good hard look at myself, as I outranked them...Overall, it was a very good experience. Nothing there left me to believe they cant figure this Suppressor configuration and fielding study out.
