What could this laser do will the beem be visible?
Think it might pop balloons ?
I'm kinda new to lasers and don't know what all this means but hey that's what the forums are for right to learn!!

Cheers and good to be here

Buck --

Is your last comment one sentence? It's hard to read. 100 mW of focused green will POP and BURN. Be careful with it. Don't pass it around to friends.

Are you "high"?

Thanks Hemlock_Mike

I fixed my post up and yes I am always high. Do ya think I should maybe look at something different?

Those specs look pretty good for a laser pen, portable, labbie??
IF it really outputs 130 mW with those specs, it should impress the spectators!! Be careful where pointed. Like shooting a gun, be aware of what's (who's) behind the target.
I have and OLD Dragon 95 which never fails to amaze the unenlightened!!!
