Laser pointers!

Post by Zander »

Just got my 2W green laser pointer in the mail (lol, anything over 5mW is illegal xD Shining a laser at someone or any vehicle that is above 5mw is illegal)

It burns like a boss.

My 1000 mw blue laser is on the way o 3o

I don't know what mW stands for (look how smart i am), or if there's a difference between mW and mw, but if they're the same thing then oh.

I really badly dislike those things because people always bullied me with them. But I got to admit they have one good use. They are a good cat toy.

Um. If they're illegal, you can't actually talk about them here. Just sayin'.

Anything above 5 milliwatts is illegal. Anything above 5mw is illegal to shine at someone or around any vehicles.

I have a 2000 milliwatt green laser, and a 1000 milliwatt blue laser on the way.

well, TECHNICALLY they aren't strictly enforced. For recreational use you can have any wattage, for commercial you need a license. The only thing illegal is shining them at a plane or living being. (or anywhere near vehicles of any sort)

My dog doesn't see my green laser, even when i shine it directly in her eye... in fact, she's starting to bump into walls.

It's a joke people. I'm not stupid.

I ordered the Core from Wicked Lasers and it finally came in.

I ordered it on July 31, and it came in on Thursday, September 8th.

Anywayy....

It's 5mw, but according to Wicked Lasers, it's the brightest 5mw you can get.

The funniest thing about this topic is a person with a lazer pointer aiming it at planes was the top news story about two weeks ago in my town.

Man small towns are boring! :x
or province I can't remember, slow news day I guess.
