hello everyone, I have a question,, I'm relatively new to laser pointers....but I bought one through an acquaintance and likes it a toy,,I have a laser pointer model Gatling 21 cm this appears to have a plastic lens and problem is that at a long distance I don't have a dot but more of a rectangle ,,now I've read a few things on this forum ,,,but somewhat confusing,, So my question is ; which lens do you recommend for

That is using a multimode diode so it will never have perfect beam
quality so it will never be a perfect circle/dot without any special beam correction optics. Also please get safety glasses from a reputable
source while using the laser, one mistake can permanently blind you

ok thanks for the advice,, but im getting back to my question: because it comes with a plastic lens as standard...... isn't it always an improvement with a glass lens ?? a G2 or G7 (I'm told)

Yes glass is always an improvement. That's obvious
I shot my smoke machine in the yard 3 times at 3 am, playing with my lasers. It puffed so good, I make my own juice, it looked like a fire rolling down the street on the other side of the house. I live on a main street, lmfao. WAS SO FREAKING SWEET!!! TURNS OUT THERE WERE PEOPLE UP, AN THEY SEEN IT!!!
When you are playing with night vision, look down so you don't trip and break your IR laser. Just saying, :(

Hahaha correct, I was 14 when I joined the forums to really get into the hobby. As of a few days ago, I’m now 21. I don’t recall your username and I can’t go that far back, did you go by a different name Uknown?

I walked in the front door today and found my dad at bottom of the stairs with blood everywhere, and barely conscious. He is stable and in a bed at the hospital now getting treated for his injuries. We are awaiting the results from a CAT scan and MRI to check for brain bleeds..etc

Please keep him in your prayers

After a family briefing, brain bleed was minor, but turns out he has a fractured skull, fractured shoulder plate, broken ribs, and a major concussion. The first few days he couldn't remember me, my brother, my mother, or anything else really. The doctors said this was normal and he is showing good progress

I did visit him Wednesday and he started to remember everyone and walk by himself, so he is doing better. Going to be hospitalized much longer than I thought though, and probably rehab

no I wish. lol. These are just some 100mw -200mw stage lasers. I like to beam as many lasers as I can across the ceiling when I am home. My kitten likes it too.
