I know I'm poor and shouldn't, but I'm thinking about buying one of these.... gotta get em before the terrorists do!

I'm not sure these are a good idea. Couldn't someone conceivably arsonate (probably not a real word... but should be!) someone else's house from far away? I'm not sure how hot they get but I imagine if you left it in one spot long enough you could get some ignition.

I think a 1 watt laser will diffuse pretty fast in the atmosphere. Effective range on this thing can't be more than a couple meters.

Someone could strap those to sharks!!!

Ive seen the super (over $100) lasers in action....

They can noticably reflect off stuff a mile a way (street signs are the most fun). It's a little 'wow' the range they get.... however, the real question should be... why?

The question "Why?" can be asked about many things in the world Rumpsy!

So you can permanently blind people on rival sports teams!

Well, the website does warn about pointing it at airplanes!
