Do I see a 445nM laser being used in this video of the Ukrainian rebellion?

Hey guys! I don't know how many of you have been following the Ukrainian rebellion that's been going on for the past few months, but it's been picking up in the past 2 days or so, and they're claiming 5 dead. Anyway, I was watching this video, and I'm pretty sure I see a 445nM beam being used against the riot police around the 2 minute mark? Do I just have laser on the brain?

nM is probably nano-Molar like concentration in chemistry. It is nm for nanometer.:beer:

Awesome video, I think it's great people stand up for what they believe in. I have no idea what they are rioting about, but if you really believe in something you have to stand up for it.

By the way, I think I may have even caught a glimpse of a 532nm in there.

Nope, thats a 445nm and its at a DANGEROUSLY low eye level :eek:
I guess when the rubber bullets and Molotov cocktails start flying laser safety is not considered. The 445nm contrasts well with tear gas.

Great video, I wish I knew more of the back story.

I would worry that the police (soldiers, whatever) will open fire with something more lethal than rubber bullets or tear gas after a few of them get a face full of 445 and have their eyes permanently damaged. It just seems like a bad tactical decision to use the laser as a weapon. A bit like bringing a knife to a gunfight. The beam from a watt+ 445 does a pretty good job of 'pointing' back to the one with the laser inviting those with firearms to hose down 'that general area' with live rounds. Now if'n you had, say, 50 watts of 1064 then you'd have a decent antipersonnel weapon that wouldn't immediately point you out to those you're rioting against.
