I'm thinking he might catch on to what I was doing like 15 minutes in...

:D

I know you're joking but that's one of the warnings, the beams reflection off a floor or wall could be enough to blind an animal.

How about if we give one to Buzz Aldrin so next time he's on the moon he can still play with his cat at home?

I suppose I could come up with some technical uses but they'd all be contrived.

The primary use for more powerful laser pointers is to put dots on things that are far away. Using a standard green laser pointer I was able place a visible "dot" on the tippy top of the Empire State building from two blocks away. This blue one is a few thousand percent more powerful.

Actually, I wasn't joking. But the pointer never got near their eyes. The beam was always in front of them on the grass. That's why they chased it. It looked like a bug or something to them. They sell these at pet stores...

The events took place at 2 huge deserted baseball fields at Fort Ord that was turned into a big dog park. There were a ton of deserted housing complexes in that area. So there were no cars to worry about, either...

A normal red laser pointer is fine (assuming you keep it away from the eyes), I assumed you were joking about using the blue laser that is the subject of this thread.

As far as I know, if you order these in the US, you won't get it shipped to you. Another board I frequent had a discussion about these several months back.

Yes, it was red.

Yes, that's what I heard. They will only ship them to Iraq and North Korea.

;)

Dood, laser colors aren't like "I want a blue popsicle, not a red one." Achieving a blue laser requires ridiculous amounts of power. The difference between your lil' laser red pointer and this laser is the difference between a bb gun and a sniper rifle.
