hey guys im new here and tried to search around but it seems like everyone has graduated and moved on to better lasers than the ones im lookin at. i want a nice intro laser. im looking at

http://www.o-like.com/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=1063

it says 50mw . i read the sticky in the green laser section and it says eye protection should be used for anything over 5mw

so if i buy that 50mw, and im jus messing around with it, nothing serious, and the beam just so happens to cross someones eyes, it could harm them? i dont want anything like that

if that is the case, what laser should i get for just recreational use

or am i fine to get that one

edit: will i need goggles for this laser too: http://o-like.com/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=1068

if you are "messing around" with lasers... you probably should stick with <5mW
