Hi everyone. I recently bought a green laser to mount on my rifle, this is my first green laser I ever bought and was pretty surprised on how bright and visible the beam is. The laser says its a class IIIa 5 mw. I bought green laser pointer (a cheap one) off of ebay and it barely comes close to the one I have mounted on my rifle as far as brightness of spot or beam visability.
Im starting to wonder if the one I have on my rifle is a lot more than 5mw, I can clearly see a solid beam indoors with some lights on though when in my kitchen where the lighting is brightest I cant, and can actually feel a little warmth on my skin on sensitive parts of my arm and hand when I shine it on them.
Is this normal to be able to see a solid beam in a partially lit room and feel warmth from the beam?
I'm a little worried since I've been toying around with it without any eye protection though I haven't been shining it near my eyes I do have white walls and it almost hurts to look at the spot when a few feet away from them.
I did look at the green laser comparison on this page and it looks nearly identical to the 50 mw
