Awesome!
Very creative. :gj:

One question: How do you change out the batteries?
With all those 18650s I'm guessing you won't have to very often.

to change batteries just unscrew the 6 nuts at the end of laser.
but with 7 batteries it has a long liftime

Add a Little digital timer and that thing would be spot on for a movie bomb.

That looks great. It does resembling the death star laser in SW. Or the aim laser in Predator movie.

That looks awesome. I totally want to build something like this.

Just curious, how did/do you align the beams? Are they adjustable?
