Want to Burn Out Your Friends' Eyeballs? Get the Spyder III Laser Pointer
According to Wicked Lasers' site, "The Artic [sic] emits a 445nm cool blue, ultra high power 1W beam which appears up to [4,000-percent] brighter than the Sonar's 405nm violet beam." In addition, it includes this caveat:
Warning: Extremely dangerous is an understatement to the power of 1W of laser power. It will blind permanently and instantly and set fire quickly to skin and other body parts, use with extreme caution and only when using the included eye protection. [sic]
For only $200 you can get your hands on your very own laser scalpel! As if laser pointers weren't aggravating enough for airplanes, cats and movie theaters, now you can permanently blind and scar your friends with one, too. But kids, for the love of God or midichlorians or whatever rules your universe, please do not buy this horrible thing. [From: Wicked Lasers, via: DVICE]

An interesting semi-non lethal alternative for personal defense.
At only $200 a pop, tempted to pick one up later on the week.

Already ordered 2 of them with goggles because people like you will scream for them to be illegal. I can now blind, then burn any intruder or attacker without fear of bullets flying around in my house. Not that I like to set fires in the house, but blinding an intruder instantly turns the odds into my favor real quick like.

Why in the hell wouldn't it be legal? I absolutely hate the concept that anything that someone might hurt themself or someone else with should automatically be made illegal. If you don't trust yourself to be able to handle one without blinding yourself or setting an airplane on fire, then by all means, don't get one.
And I suggest plastic cutlery as well. Would hate for you to cut yourself or put out your eye while cutting a steak...
My laser is already on order. Can't wait. But thanks for the concern anyway. :)

I don't think they should be illegal, but people need to know the dangers of one before they go waving it around like a toy.
Anyways, if you want to get an additional 5% off you can use this link to their site

So Lightsabers are moving from Star Wars to real life.
Interesting....

I hear this laser is ripped straight out of a Casio projector so banning them isn't quite as simple as banning guns. Lasers are in many electrical products.

WTH! Where did you read that "looking at the dot" will freaking blind you??? It won't do the math, do the research. DON'T misinform. Specular reflection is related to the reflectivity of the surface, and distance. The wattage in fact, drops off at an exponential rate. Class 4 lasers emit a dot hazardous to the retina if the retina is exposed from a close distance for a longer period of time. (In the case of this pointer). I'm angry that people like you are MISINFORMING the public. Educate yourselves people!
