A sheet of SCP-788.

Item #: SCP-788

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-788 is to be stored in a secure locker at Site-██. Testing must only be performed by Class D personnel, and only with prior permission from Level 4 personnel.

Description: SCP-788 is a packet of twenty-five (25) silhouette-style paper gun targets of a standard design identical to that used by police forces for gun training. The pages are identical to other products produced by the ██████████████ company, and do not exhibit any anomalies in their composition. Pages of SCP-788 are easily destroyed via incineration or cutting.

When a firearm is discharged at SCP-788 and any part of the silhouette is hit, the user simultaneously is wounded in a manner identical to that if they were hit in the indicated area on the target. The wound appears to have been caused by ammunition identical to the type fired, though no bullet is found on the victim's body afterwards, and high-speed photography simply show the effects of the wound without any projectile causing it. Rounds retrieved are also perfectly normal, and show no evidence of having struck a living target.

SCP-788 was retrieved from a police firing range in █████████, █████ after an incident involving Sergeant ████ █████████, who was critically injured when his first round hit SCP-788's chest. Sergeant █████████ was administered a Class A amnesiac and fully recovered with no observed side effects.

Seven (7) pages of SCP-788 have been used, and eighteen (18) unused pages remain.

Experiment Log 788-1:

Class D personnel were used to determine the limits and range of SCP-788's effects. All experimentation was performed at Firing Range B at Site-██. High-speed cameras were used to record both the effects on SCP-788 and the test subjects.
