The team at CMP Tactical Lazer Tag Des Moines has taken care to make the experience of combat as realistic as possible. Most notably, they don't use any brightly colored, plastic weapons; all of CMP's laser taggers are full metal, which lends to the sensation of carrying actual tools of combat. This seemingly small detail helps players feel immersed in realistic firefights during pulse-pounding scenarios such as capture the flag, search and destroy, sniper, and escort. Game props, such as time bombs, add additional tension—as do the high-tech taggers themselves, which can be calibrated to read damage, lives, and respawns.
