This video should be stickied for all the noobs who think they can mod a 5mW red pointer. For some reason, I've noticed LOTS of these questions flooding some threads. Perhaps there's nothing that can be done about this because it is a free public site, but there should be some way of weeding this constant flow for the min. I think a picture is worth a thousand words, and a film is worth a thousand pictures, and Styropyro made this awesome guide to answer the $100 dollar question that a $2 laser can never "burn"... and it's short, clever, and funny.
