Old computers. I'm looking at the platter of a hard drive that is sitting on my desk right now with .45 holes in it - it is somewhat surprising how tough that platter is. Its presence makes my servers run better.

A couple weeks ago I went to an IPDA-style training session at an indoor range, and one of the scenarios they had was a regular cardboard head/body shape attached to the target clip with 12" of duct tape. The target had a front and a back, and they'd start the target out at 30ft away, and bring it toward the line. You could start shooting when it was 20ft away, and shots to the back weren't allowed. Made for a VERY interesting challenge, fluttering toward you.
