  1. One question... by mark-t · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Why?

    I mean, really...

    They say that this 100+mW laser isn't legal for use in public, with over 20 times the power output as a typical laser pointer...

    So what's the point?

    The only real use I can see for something like this is as a weapon.

    Or is that the point?
