Man Toys. You know the sort

[The Nur]

I saw this... http://www.megalaseruk.com/laser02.htm#808nm2 the other day and it immediately struck me that it is one of those things that I have no need for, but my life feels empty without.

Click the link, have a look and tell me what you think, is it worth the money? Anyone got more powerful alternatives etc etc?


ETA: C'mon guys, its a frickin laser!






ETA: sorry, should be in computers gadgets and stuff

Laser safety glasses or don't touch it.

One of the guys I work with bought some ex russian military night vision binos, he was expecting something nice and small he could carry around for a laugh, turns out they are big enough to require their own rucksack and weigh about the same as a small van

Fair enough. is this the website one, the home made one, or a warning about relatively high powered laser pens with no safety legislation whatsoever in general?

(sound advice though, I dont intend on fking about with it and pointing it at planes and stuff)

Why does walking through the dark woods/house/hiding in the back garden with nvg's seem like such an excellent idea?

Its like being 5 again

Hmm, so this was made with a CD driver then:

Is it waterproof? Could you strap it to a shark's head?

IIRC there were some real horror stories about the ex russian military NVG kit as the lens or intensifier was highly radioactive if damaged.

Monocular sights now available from under £200.

After reading a post in the biker banter red lights thread about how the IR flash from emergancy services vehicles changes traffic lights...

could the IR laser pen in my first link be used to change traffic lights, turn off street light etc?
