cool, but you could really hurt someone with that. if it accidentally shot off in someones eyes, you just blinded them for life. i dont think i would take that chance myself, a perfect scenario there for a fricken lawsuit.

youd have to, or just what i said would happen. and as another point that might come up, might be the police might nab your butt for possesing an dangerous weapon, or hazardous, or whatever they might classify it as. so it might be actually illegal to have it setup as a gun. i think you get my drift. right?

The lasersaber video looks pretty good... It has grow and retract...

I wonder if he actually used that laser for it?


EDIT-

Or does plasma do that?

I don't know much about any of the stuff besides MR and Luxeon.

Yes, he used a laser for it, but it's not as nifty as it looks. Watch the video again. When the saber ignites, the blade is always held upside down. Then when he turns it off, he jiggles it.

There's something in the blade, probably a ball bearing or similar, that rolls down the tube to give the illusion of a grow/retract. The problem is, something like that won't work for dueling because as soon as you hit something, that ball is going to roll down the blade.

Ultra,

I just watched it again, and you're right... Its really subtle, but yeah, he shakes it to get it to retract. Neat concept though.

a saber like that would be cool, but that would be a pretty expensive one. instead of being like luxeon and being a flashlight too, it would be a lighter and a flashlight, which would be great.

i am a nerd, if you don't like it, i will cut you with my lightsaber

It would but a good friend of mine made a suggestion the other day since he does Arterial Laser Surgery and when they get to old and can't maintain the correct tolerance, they just toss them out, he was going to look in to seeing if he could get me one to experiment with. Will keep you posted if this happens.

Hey, guys check it out. Their selling that saber in the video:

Tell me what you think. Also did you notice on the description that the guy said you have to e-mail him for the instructions, I think that means that Ultra was right in that it probably has like a bearing ball that you have to shake. I just thought you'd be interested, the value of this saber is pretty good considering that their lasers are always expensive.

ROTFLMAO!

Did anyone take a good look at that hilt? I think it's made from MHS parts!
To me it looks as though they took an EL MHS (note blade diameter) and worked it out to run off a green laser pointer......which is not even included in the auction! Essentially you have a Lux saber that has a 3/4" blade and rund off a laser pointer instead of the usual LED.


Now THAT'S comedy!..............but not too horrible an idea I suppose.

yep , that sure is a MHS in that auction. another great example of what you can do with the MHS and a little imagination.

You'll notice that he taps the pommel of the saber to "retract" the blade each time. You'll ALSO notice that when switching laser pointers...there is no extend or retract effect. Hmm...perhaps that's because he didn't turn it upside down, or tap on it!

HEY, gotta pay attention to some of these guys.....look at description....and i quote:

"Does not come with laser pointer or sound effects"

Edit: You would still have to go to the other guys to still buy the laser.

the only time it wasn't strait down when he ignited was when he had it horizontal and pushed the saber forward and then pulled back
