[Invisas1979]

Not sure if anyone has seen this but I'm looking at this on the news now.

Have they purposely made this thing to look like a lightsaber?

Thought on this anyone!

I don't know where they thinking of it when designing it, but it sure would make an awesome hilt!

Wonder can it be converted...

Theres already a thread on this. These things are not funny. I really do hope they get banned before they get into the wrong hands and start injuring innocent bystanders.

This is the thread. (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/showthread.php?t=10962&highlight=laser)

My thoughts? It looks cool but is not very practical. I won't get into the dangers of it as it's no more dangerous than a gun... and I own guns.

I personally can't see a use for it. If I want to start a fire, I'll use a lighter or matches. If I was to physically hurt someone in self defense, I can think of much better things to use than a high-powered laser than can set them on fire or permanately blind them.

And please don't spell it "lazer", there's no "z" in "laser", it's an acronym:

Light(wave) Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

Ahem... J-Lo. Look at the post above ARKM's. Specifically the last sentence. ;)

[Invisas1979]

Didn't realize there waz a thread already.

Cheerz for the info J-Lo i'll make sure I spell laser, lazer in future. ;)

Seriously though I've seen projectors before but what's the need for the lightzaber looking part.

We need to find a way to diffuse the light from one of these crazy diodes so we can use it in a saber blade. We might be able to just take the focusing lens off it & use a glass diffuser!:eek:

[Crystal Chambers]

We?...nope I'm afraid you can count me out..lol

[Sunrider]

Aww come on. I'm still working on the last crazy bright blade experiment. :neutral:

Just remember to keep the supplied glasses on when playing around with it. ;)

And maybe body armor.:p
