it can be used as weapon as well as stones can be used as weapons to same as our hands lol. Welcome.

 

[laserlands]

so lots of countries banned high power lasers

 

[Deleted member 8382]

yep, I wonder why they don't ban hands too. All in all all the other "possible weapons" are controlled by them xD

Welcome to the forum! Don't forget to read the forum rules and stickies!

As Hallucynogenyc said... There are many things that can be used as weapons. Hopefully you will be a responsible laser owner and you'll never misuse your laser. Again, Welcome

Hi, welcome to the forum.
I am also from Denmark so naturally you can PM me in Danish if you want.
Technically <5mW is safe for eyes, but I would recommend a 1mW to make sure accidents don't happen.
Also, cheap Chinese lasers cannot always be trusted to be 5mW if they say so - a lot of "5mW" are far more powerful and therefore dangerous. Therefore the most secure thing for playing with dogs is <1mW. If it's green (532nm) it will still be easy for the dog to see.
