My friends in China tell me that laserisits in their country
seem, in general, to be more concerned with a handhelds
ability to run without out need of a rest cycle.. somewhat
like LPM readings, at some point in time it really resembles
a pissing contest or perhaps like a Corvette, the no-rest-needed lasersabre is an indicator of manlyess..
I do not need to take a poll on how age is a factor, likewise the facination with burning, popping and setting various things afire- I think I know what Freud would say. With maturity these thing become less important- and I welcome all other schools of thought- IHMO there is no right/correct or wrong/dumb thought processes here--whatever makes you happy and does not make others sad.
BUT all other arguments and thoughts aside, I will think anyone spending hard-earned cash on a laser would agree while some makers claim no rest needed it could come back on you--We do know really always know the cause of death many times when they eventually die..and that is often after the warranty has expired.
So unless you do not care about shortening your laser's lifespan or have so much extra cash to throw away, I think most VETS here wll agree- BE NICE to your lasers- show proper respect and the warranty be damned.... what kind of pleasure does on get sending back the laser that, he may have very well killed by not being NICE to it.?
Why would anyone do something so pointless that, if you really think about it, - is not very good for the health of the maker of your laser either. When profit margins are slim every return-refund-replace and all the related shipping and labor costs can not only drive the prices up on US, but this may also make the maker suffer or even close down,,
TBA My rule of thumb if the laser has a 4 min on 2 min off-recommended by the maker-- I go with 2 min on and 2 off-& any time the front feels overly warm- its time for a break-- c'mon thats why we own more than one- & of course none of us is using a stop watch and we only guess, hopefuly erring only towards a longer rest and shorter duty.
I use due diligence in regard to possible damage- being round and gravity always being a constant bitch(the fall did not hurt me but that sudden stop was a 'MF')lasers roll off surfaces and that my friend is NOT covered by the warranty-- if a laser is sold to me as waterproff to 10 meters I treat it as a water RESISTANT laser and only take out when its raining if i MUST. & a so called shock proof laser needs to be treated at the very least like one that is just shock RESISTANT.
So even when using a tripod or mic clamp ( why not use both?) never rely 100% on it.
Do not expect another person to treat as if it was their 300$ that paid for that puppy 'cause it wasn't.
An unloaded gun cannot fire- and a laser stored without batteries or safety pin or tailcap cannot lase. (I need not say anymore)
Like guns lasers are facinating to the kiddos and also like guns they will look-touch- mess with or even handle when they think they will not get caught. Its the owner's duty to store properly. And how much you can trust your children's friends is at best a crap shoot. (no pun intended)
And the untrained have no clue what a duty rest cycle even is.
