Update: I ordered it a few days ago, now I recieved a phone call from a Fedex agent asking for my email and fiscal identification number. I recieved an email from Fedex right after to send the order confirmation and proof of payment, where it says it's a 1W laser. Now there is a good chance it...

Alright, I'll delete them. EDIT: Done

It especially pisses me off because I'm actually a fan of most of this guy's other content. By the way, when somebody here said this: What was the reason? I didn't really understand, is it because of what I said there or just the way the server is?

True. The youtube video I linked with millions of views doesn't help either.

It is weird, because I remember seeing a news report on lasers hitting planes a few years ago. I usually only point at the sky for a minute or two a day by the way.

For some reason my reply is now before your message. I added screenshots of the removed conversation to my last message.

I have absolutely no intention of ever pointing at an aircraft. If there are no laws against pointing at the open sky, there is no problem. By the way, I live rather close to an airport, so pretty much all planes have a low altitude and are very easy to see. If I see anything moving that is...

Oh ok. Those guys kept using this article as proof I was being reckless. Thank god just turning on a laser isn't an offense yet. There is a popular youtuber here called D4rkFr4me who did a couple of videos playing with a blue gatling like 3 years ago. This one is the worst offender, he points it...

Do you all know if LASSOS has been implemented anywhere yet? I can't find anything about it being in use, just the presentation for it. I mean, I'd probably have been arrested by now if it was implemented here in Portugal, as I shine my laser at the sky a minute or two a day.

Yeah, I mentioned this in my OP. My mom's harrasser was threatening her on the phone when I sent that message, and I said that in a fit of rage. I calmed down very shortly after and realized my stupidity.

Thanks. I've had my gatling for 6 months now, fortunately no issues. Why? Do they have a lot of toxic people? EDIT: I just joined it yesterday so I don't know what's the reason I should leave

So, I was talking about removing the lens of a laser to make it look like a flashlight, in case some paranoid person sees the beam in the night sky and calls the cops, on Styropyro's removed server. Three guys were treating me like I was some sort of monster for even pointing the laser at the...

That makes sense. The 303's beam was about 1-2mm in diameter. The Gatling has 2x4.5mm beam. That should be about 3-4x the cross-sectional area.

I know that Rayleigh scattering makes blue beams brighter, but being pretty close to green just sounds wrong... I remember my laser 303 being almost as bright as my Gatling, though I never compared them side by side as the 303 died long before I even had the Gatling.

So, according to the relative brightness calculator, a 532nm laser is 13.57x brighter then a 450nm laser of the same power. However, if I switch to beam brightness, and turn on mesopic correction, the blue laser's beam is actually 1.31x BRIGHTER then the green laser, when they are both 5mW. At...

The extra features such as internal focusing and side momentary and constant switches.

Not really, this question is about the divergence of the PLTB450B diode in particular, that one is about why the divergence increases on more powerful blues, which eventually became about which lens I should use considering the raw output of the gatling. I said the same things about the output...

There is nothing in front of the diode window, I had do clean it once because a piece of tape I put on the lens holder's threads fell in there with the laser powered on, and it was perfectly flat. The beam with the lens is perfectly fine, just slightly off-center and cropped by quite a bit. It...

So, I have a Gatling laser, which most likely uses a PLTB450B diode. Its raw output has over 90° of full angle divergence, hitting the host itself by quite a bit if unscrew the lens holder, and even a bit of the heatsink. https://ibb.co/TcpG57d Is this normal? According to some datasheed I found...

One time, a few days after I added some tape to the lens holder's threads, a little piece fell right on the diode with the laser on. I immediately turned it off, there was no permanent damage, most of the residue came out with an alcohol soaked microfiber cloth, there are like 2 barely visible...
