Recently I've been really interested in lasers. I've been trying to find a green laser that has a visible beam that can light matches atleast, and maybe more. I'm looking to stay within a 70-100 dollar price maximum. Not sure where to purchase or which MW to purchase, any ideas? Thanks!

I saw I can add a charger to it, does it come with a battery or however it is powered?
I don't know. It takes common 18650's which you can buy at local vape shops though. Just make sure you put the battery in the right way, as you can kill the laser putting it in reversed.

Gotcha, also it says laser pointer, I'm in the US and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to get a laser pointer over 5MW so would that one still work?

Don't worry, they'll ship it to you anyway. I'd also recommend some safety glasses if you want to burn with it. For just looking at the beam in the sky or whatever you don't need them.
