You: Yes, because it's got steel in it. Steel is magnetic.
Range Ossifer: There's no such thing as that. It's armor piercing. This indoor range has a steel backstop. Know what happens if you shoot through it with your evil armor-piercing bullets? You'll kill everyone in the next ZIP code. Now I'm going to give you the stink-eye until you put those away and shoot something else. If you like, you can buy our copper-jacketed ammo of the same caliber to shoot. It only costs 3x what you would pay anywhere else.
