No its not. They are designed to kill/injure/inflict damage on living beings. Period. Just because you are shooting paper doesn't mean that's what they are designed for.
You don't need to design a device projecting a bullet at that speed to make a hole in a piece of paper. I highly doubt gun designers/manufacturers are sitting around their meeting rooms saying "we need to make our products better at piercing paper!...The sport depends on it...our last one barely made a dent in that paper!"
