what would you say is the best balloon popper? I want to pop a balloon from about 10 feet away, color of beam is not important, can be uv.

I have a 50mw from dx but it will not do what I want, they have 300mw and I have read it is more ir than green but will this be what I need to pop a balloon?

If the balloon is tethered, either a rifle or a pistol will do it.

If the balloon is floating freely, you might want to opt for a shotgun

If you want a laser that will pop gallons good get. 1w or 1.5w laser, but I would suggest a shotgun.

i cant get my 445nm set at 1600ma to pop a balloon at 10 feet.

ps... at the op.. lasers are expensive. so if you are looking for a laser just to pop a balloon you are wasting your money. besides it is much more impressive to knock a target out of the sky with a blow gun. that takes skill. this is a hobby like anything else. people here collect, build and share. so if you arent willing to do that than kick rocks homeboy!!
