I'm a noob and I think I'm going to get a nova x series 15mw any feedback would be great as I did not find anything in the search. How far will a 15mw throw a beam, could I blind a QB from a 1000' lol?

well, take a look at this
http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1226828268/0#0
that basically says that if you buy a nova x-15 you are paying $6.60 for every mW!!! that is not a good deal, then again they are one of the best lasers companies, but i would recommend either buying a more powerful laser or going with a cheap laser from either dealextreme.com or ledshoppe.com
(also, try and only make one thread with all your questions instead of 3 or more)

I replied to your thread in the General section.
Please post your question only once.
And please be responsible with your laser; attempting to blind a QB is not a good idea.
I promise you that if you continue to make these remarks you will find a great deal of resentment from the members here.
Just a warning.
We value our hobby, and irresponsibility on the part of the uneducated (mostly children but also immature "adults") have caused this hobby to gain a poor reputation... not only that, but legislators are trying to ban lasers altogether because some douchebag thinks it's funny to irritate a few police chopper pilots and football players.
And it doesn't help that the media embellishes these stories...
So please, be careful what you do and say.

Believe me, I have a sense of humor.
But humor is much more difficult to communicate over a forum than it is in person.
Edit: and I wasn't trying to offend you... Just inform.
Anyway, I answered your question, don't know if you read it...

Why the he** would you try to blind a QB! 
It's idiots like you that make countries ban lasers! Just ask Australia and the UK!

even if you don't mean it, IT'S NOT A JOKING MATTER! period. why not point a toy gun at a policeman, and when he reacts, you laugh and ask him why he takes everything so literally?

If you don't handle a laser corectly you simply should not have one. Lasers over 5mW are already banned (besides the 5 point safty system) and you should not contibute to making a larger ban. Lasers can be fun but must be handled in a serious matter.

I think the guy was just asking a noob question, seems that QB thing was all over the news, I say lighten up!
