It's not so much that, but that people simply need to understand that forum readership is a subsection of our traffic. The percent of people that post on the forums and read the news is pretty high as they are actively participating in the site, but a lot of people come her for any number of reasons and don't post in the forums. They will however read our news.Marik2 said:
Sure. If you leave it on your skin, it will grow hot over 10 or so seconds and you'll pull your hand out of the way. If you leave it on your couch, it will make a black point. If you look right into it from a close distance, you'll be blinded after 20 seconds or so.thenumberthirteen said:
A knife is way more dangerous than this.
I spent $250 on a 55milliwatt green wicked laser 4 years ago, now they sell a ONE WATT for $197?
Screw my laser.
Then again this is D-battery flashlight size while most are pen size.

This is stupid. NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BUY THIS . It's stupidly dangerous and should not be allowed for general publics consumption, and since there are already industrial lasers, theis has no reason for existing. There is literally no point for this things existance, and for everyone that wants one because they look cool, there will be a dickhead who misuses it.
I'm fairly sure this could probably kill someone, leaving no evidence. Ok, so I stop getting quoted for this, that last part was sarcasm. I was over exaggerating.

Why does everyone keep calling this the closest thing to a lightsaber?! It's the closest thing to a Star Trek phaser pistol dammit! Which is just as cool and nerdy really.
I don't care if i die in a horrible plane crash from one of these things.
Not when it represents the freedoms my #$%*ing nanny country government doesn't think we are mature enough to handle.
If the president of the US can launch nukes at the drop of a hat, i at least want my FU%^ING laser before I am inevitably enveoped in a mushroom cloud.
Besides death is a price I for one am well willing to pay for pure awsomness!
I mean REALLY! have lasers ever actually caused a commercial plane to crash in documented history? tell me where to find these mystical records!!

Right now, Jeremy is is smashing is computer, thanks Escapist.
Also, i have a thing for doing things i shouldnt do. I once got a laser pointer for an old BB gun (I bought the gun for the silencer and the laser, the gun itself was fail). It says do not point towards eyes, so my first instinct is to point it straight into my pupil to see what the big deal is. I loved seeing red with black dots.
Possibly why i now need glasses...

Lightsabers aren't iconic because of the power, they are iconic because the beam actually cuts itself off after a certain length, which is absolutely impossible. At least when you are solely dealing with light, as in photons.
Eh, yeah. We've actually had pretty powerful lasers available to us for quite a while now. I had a mate who used to pop balloons with one he nabbed off teh interwebs for about a tenner.
Laser tech of awesome has kinda snuck up on us, actually.

Especially when you consider lightsabers aren't actually lasers but superheated plasma kept in shape with some kind of field thingy XDCowabungaa said:
And i want one but i would end up doing something stupid with it leading me to get arrested or blinding myself.
Yeah, nobody should be allowed to buy this without a license or something
