WickedLaser Unveils "Lightsaber"

[HappyIdiot]

And here's the best (or worst) part -- it can set people (or things) on fire. Apparently the laser is so high powered that shining it on fleshy parts will cause them to burst into flames.

Handheld death

I foresee a lot of injuries from this... But I'd still love to own one. I'm actually in the process of making my own

Just make sure you sign the waiver

Wow! I'd buy one right now if I could actually think of a legitimate use.

I find this thing very scary.

Silent while in use, concealable while in use, long ranged, and the injuries it causes (retinal blindness) can not be healed.

Pair it with a culture used to 'pointing laser pointers at people', and I can totally see people crippled for life over careless play.

I don't care if it's regulated, because people can get their hands on whatever they want, so long as they can pay for it.

When their previous version was $2000, I was less worried about a kid getting one.
