Thinking about buying this Laser Pointer

[Defiance]

Hey guys, I was thinking about buying this laser pointer from this site:

http://www.bestofferbuy.com/highpower-200m...ime-p-6978.html

I will make sure to use it outside (most of the time) and not to point it at anything. However, the thought of it somehow hitting my eye, even for a second, makes me nervous... But to burn matches and other black things looks so cool...

If you do buy it, make sure you get an IR filter to protect your eyes. You can get one at a camera shop.

Part of the reason I'm choosing a red laser over a green laser is that red lasers do not emit IR.

why would you buy a laser pointer if your not going to point at things seems like a waste of money

I got a 5mw green laser from DX. It can pop balloons in about 15 seconds

.

I got a 200mW red laser from DX. It can pop balloons in about half a second and if you write fairly slowly with it you can melt your name into plastic by holding it like a pen.

It's so cool!

Also, that site looks like a clone of DX. The products are the exactly the same models, and the prices are more expensive.

I don't care if it's 2 dollars more... Anyway, I would have most defiantly bought from DX had they not shipped to the US.

This is the only site I know that will ship it to where I live. (I Would buy it with the rechargeable Cr2 batteries with charger.)

And robochrono09, I would point it at things, I just meant not any people/planes, etc.

Also Sinkhead, do you have safety goggles? (Just curious.)

Anyone? Thoughts? Concerns?

Do it up man, I would totally want to get one of these but I am afraid with all my friends and all the people in my house that something bad would happen. Real bad.
