Steel
A target made from high-quality, heat-treated steel should have a Brinell Hardness Number of 500. BHR is an indicator of how hard metals are. The right steel will have enough strength and toughness for bullet demolishment. The BHR is a measure of how hard a metal is and how resistant it is to impact. A properly-hardened steel target can withstand multiple bullet impacts.
Paper
Target shooting can be done with many types of paper targets. Many paper targets can be used for target shooting and are disposable. They also come in different sizes and shapes. Double-sided targets, for instance, show a man carrying a handgun and holding a cell phone. The double-sided target can be used for shoot-and/or no-shoot drills.

Fire marshals in other states have also sought Maryland's guidance on the use of exploding targets.

Laser Tag Competitions
Two key elements of the game are movement and target shooting. Players must move quickly and avoid being seen by opponents. Although hiding in a safe spot might sound appealing, it is not the best idea. Players should instead use tactical movements to avoid being spotted. Players should be quick, but not in rapid bursts. Players should also crawl, if at all possible. This will prevent them being tagged and seen.
