The Most Kick-Ass Laser Pointer of Them All!

"The article you’re about to read is a story of furious power unleashed. It’s a story about technology that must be seen to be believed, but causes serious concern among federal agencies. It’s a story of a 9-inch, 13.3oz, handheld laser that can shine a brilliant, blue beam many miles into the night’s sky, and, at shorter distance under the right conditions, burn flesh, cause permanent blindness, and set organic matter on fire."
I'm a fan of Wicked Lasers products, I almost ordered this just because it was probably the closest thing to a lightsaber that I'll ever own. But, much like the Red Rider BB Gun of a previous generation, I figured I'd end up burning my eyes out. While this isn't suitable for presentations and such, I do have a green laser from them that I use quite frequently. The beam is barely visible in the dark and the dot is way more visible than that of a red pointer, which makes it great for PowerPoint's with a large crowd.
