Re: Don't you just want one (laser)

I thought these things were banned, due to peeps being blinded by them when they first appeared on the retail market?

This mean machine would certaintly blind you, so why on the market?

I'm slightly concerned myself but the cheapest one is at about £530 on this site.I'm not sure as to what 'strength' it is though but surely as was mentioned earlier the cost should keep them out of the hands of hooligans.

Re: Don't you just want one (laser)

Why not just buy one of these and be done with it
The mock up doesn't look very streamlined though

The ray uses a beam which heats up the skin to a depth of 1/64 of an inch. This burning sensation is very painful but won't cause actual damage unless the subject stays in the beam for as long as 250 seconds.
Suppose it is only 4 minutes though...plenty of time to get out of the way

Wickedlasers is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Don't you just want one (laser)

Greetings Cable Forum,
We have had many inquiries from Cable Forum members. I have reviewed this thread and want to make some clarifications. Our laser prices start at 50 quid, for a 15mW and range up to 125mW at 330 quid. The 15mW is enough to produce a bright intense green beam during night time conditions. It is 3 X brighter than the 5mW lasers you see on the market for the same price. To thank you for your interest, I am giving a 20% discount for all Cable Forum members on their purchase effective now through the end of August. To redeem your discount, order your product via the ORDER NOW link on the top of the home page. Then use the shopping cart (ADD TO CART) when choosing your product, then before you checkout, you will see the Promo Code area. Use "CABLEFORUM" to get 20% off your entire order. Thanks for supporting our site and hope to see you soon. These lasers are legal to ship to the UK, USA and any other country, but you must use it privately and for professional purposes (not to play around with).

Best Regards

Only the US army could come up with that appellation.

Well, here's a use for them - live on Nasa now, one of the Shuttle crew is using a handheld laser to help line up the docking manoeuvre with the ISS.

Hang on!You and I can see sensible uses for this item but I suspect that the desire by many CF members to own one has nothing to do with them being useful..It's just one more exc... errrr..reason to offer to be allowed to buy one by their nearest and dearest.
