MOST AWESOME

1. So..who will have this first?/ The local militias...or the local police???

[realisticphish]

2. not particularly useful for either, really

i suppose that it could be used to blind protesters or something, but they'd have to stand very still. It's not a baton or anything, it's just a laser pointer that can hurt

[damntexdem]

3. Most disgusting.

And most disturbing.

Sure, they'll be outlawed. But who's going to get their hands on them anyway? And how many people will they maim?

4. Wouldn't cut a piece of plastic

Would blind whomever gets hit in the eye with the beam, and probably isn't too healthy to look at reflections or even the beam from the side.

5. ...

6. It's dangerous, but it's no "real" light saber

I have at least two more dangerous lasers in my lab right now. They've sure got a lot of marketing hype out of this!
