Holy crap! I wouldn't pay $600.00 for their 100mW POS. ;D
What I find amusing is the these lasers are to be used only for military and law enforcement applications but we will sell to any Tom, Dick and Larry even though you are not affiliated with any military or law enforcement agency. So just fork over the bucks folks no questions asked. 
Now we all know and so does WL that majority of these lasers are bought solely to burn something.

I also love the selling slogan for it:
"Stops potential threats and vehicles in their tracks"
You can tell there will be a rise in people trying to stop cars with their lasers, seriously this has to be the stupidist thing that WL could have put.
Did you know that you can stop vehicles by shining your high power laser in their eyes!!!
Grrrrr...
lol

LOL !!!!!! Yeah but they'll only sell you 10, no more !! ;D ;D ;D
What do you reckon they would say if you asked to buy 30 ??? Would they say no ?? Man WL just totally insults my intelligence. And ONLY US$600 for a 100mW green, shit sign me up !!! I wonder if I they'd take Monopoly money. :-/

I can sorta imagine someone laying flat on his back on the road, with a big threadmark from feet to head and smoldering laserpointer in his hand... "now there's yr problem!".
I do wonder if you get your money back when you order that laser, shine it at a car, and it doesnt stop it in its tracks...

You are REALLY LUCKY to EVER get your money back from Wicked at ANY time ! This has got to be the most rediculous item I have ever seen anyone sell - I would be laughed out of the laser hobby if I tried to sell a 100mw laser that most likely will not output the 100mw for $600. Wicked is definitely way too big for their pants - If "inflated ego" and "Untouchable" do not describe their ideas about themselves, I cannot think of a better description. 100mw, waterproof, and adjustable focus. Sounds to me (still) like they focusmodded a Spyder II and are reselling it under a new name ! I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall of WL HQ sometime, and listen to how they talk about the rest of the world.....
WL-HQ morning meeting : "WOW ! Another 15 laser order from that SenKat guy...boy do we have him hooked ! I wonder what kind of Bullshit we can spout off to increase sales this week ? OOOOOO !!!! I know, let's say that we have created a ne IR filter technology that not only filters out ALL the IR, but it increases the laser's output by 45% !! YEAH, TEAM !!! "
WL-HQ lunch break : "Hey Pete ! I hear that you turned down 15 more RMA's this morning ! Way to go, man - you are gonna make bonus this week for certain !"
Pete : "Yeah, some guy was complaining that we didn't test their Spyder II PX, and that it was not putting out true 666nm like advertised. I shut him up with 200 Wicked Bucks, and am charging him a power plotting fee when he returrns it this time....that way I can make up for the WB's I gave him ! What an idiot, to agree to pay MORE for a laser that will never work right to begin with ! DAMN !!! I LOVE THIS JOB !!!"
Okay, a little over the top towards the end - but you know, it is nuts to even EVER consider doing business with a company that really likes to take your money, and do nothing else. Overpriced, under spec, worthless crap is what they sell for the most part - although the dragon cases and goggles I have purchased have been great to me thus far

I usually just stand infront of that vehicle and they usually stop...who needs a laser to blind the driver into a more dangerous situation?! ;D
Yeah when I first read that I knew that everyone else who loves lasers are going to be screwed now. But they say that to get idiots to buy it, then they say it's for "Military Use Only" to cover their asses when someone comes back at them. Now if they could sell a true 100mW green that is water proof and focusable at lets say #250 maybe even $300 then they would get some true interest, but sadly their regular lasers hit about $250-300 right after the 75mW range...
