Are handheld burning lasers any good for self-defense?Like, obviously you're not going to be incinerating your assailant, but most people don't have the goggles required to not get their eyes burned out and ruined. Also good against certain aircraft.Am I missing something? Why don't more people utilize burning lasers?
>>64208066because this is better
>>64208085But why? It's significantly more expensive, both initial cost and ammo purchases, not to mention all of the red tape and political chicanery. Seems like a laser is less of a hassle.
>>64208095An army is also more expensive and less maneuverable than one guy with a pointy stick but you still see countries using armies, curious.
>>64208066Just get some Pocket Sand (Japan) if you want to feel cooler than simply using mace.
>>64208095If you can't figure out why something that can instantly blind anyone within 100 feet being held in a hand probably shaking with adrenaline while you try and point it at an attacker is a bad idea you shouldn't be carrying anything more dangerous than a whistle.
>>64208095>>64208066Any competent lawyer is sending you straight to prison for inflicting a non-lethal permanently crippling injury on an assailant, even if their intent was to rape you. You either go all the way or not at all.
>>64208066Insanely bright torches are a better option because you get a cone of effect making it much easier to hit eyes than a 2mm wide beam.
>>64208095yeah, but this will strike a Jamal down and send him to hell. your little laser will at best blind him in one eye before he beats you to death.
Every few years you get somebody thinking that this is the year that lasers will finally be useful self-defense weapons. They are subsequently shot or stabbed
>>64208108>Pocket SandI'll raise.
>>64208114Not convinced. This is also something that applies to firearms.>>64208123>implying that I wouldn't immediately be sued for wrongful death if I killed them instead>>64208130Fine, I can at least find this plausible. But, the laser is useful against technological targets as well, not to mention that Jamal will be stunned immediately from having his corneas burnt out (unless he has nerves of steel).What's more, a crippled Jamal is less effective at niggering and needs to be cared for by other niggers. If the state pays out disability, that's fine, it will accelerate the collapse of the retarded government. In these two manners, a laser when used successfully deals economic damage after the engagement.
>>64208193>This is also something that applies to firearmsFirearms don't require you to hit them in the eyeball.
>>64208066You require 2 triple a battery and a surplus Ariel photography flash bulb. Figure a way to either test the supply or trigger multiples, they are 60 year old pyrotechnics Ge type 50s or p3000, for longer duration modern production. 5-7 Mega lumens of light. 73x brighter than a welding arc. Aluminum is eye safe and doesn't necessarily have eye destruction power until you get big Ariel shit. If you want that, you need Ariel magnesium or other non aluminum
>>64208208I also just press and hold down a button and let physics do the rest. I don't need to reload a laser or chamber another laser shot.
>>64208193it's the same argument as pepper spray, it doesn't work like that in the real world. the easiest solution is to kill. and with firearms you don't need to aim for the eyes, (a vary small target) you just shoot center mass.
>>64208095Nigga guns are cheap as fuck. Stop coping. Are you a felon, a yuronig, or underaged?
>>642082201 picosecond hitting the eye isn't going to have any effect at all, it needs to either hit it a bunch of times rapidly or stay of it for some length of time.
>>64208193there's a difference between a likely fruitless wrongful death suit from the family of a now-deceased criminal and the very real testimony of the now-crippled man who will be present in court with his family while his lawyer turns your asshole inside out. If it's worth maiming someone over it's worth killing someone over, that equation will never change and the moment you try to choose the former over the latter you've gone beyond practicality into cruelty. this is a shitty bait thread anyways kys
Why do you fucking idiots reply to threads like this. Honest to god I take a 4 months break and this retarded ass shit is what I come back to.
>>64208193Lawyer here: dead is better. If you kill someone and it survives the criminal trial, or if there are ultimately no charges, then you’re not going to get a wrongful death suit. If you do, it’ll be easy to win, and even if you DON’T win, that doesn’t hold a candle to the astronomically massive HUGE cock of a civil suit for fucking blinding someone with a high-powered laser for the rest of their life. Here’s a good tip to remember: whatever you do to someone, you’ll have to answer not just for what’s done, but what they’d be earning. This doesn’t apply in most jurisdictions if they’re dead, the logic being that a dead person can’t work anyway. This Abso-lutely will fuck you if they’re alive but maimed because now YOU are their source of employment income for the rest of their long lives, since you were the one that maimed them.Tl;dr you’re an idiot and i am glad summer is nearly over
>>64208228It's always Europoors Found the video. https://youtube.com/shorts/FUgCas2NqBcI wish my local surplus store still had the aerial bulbs.
>>64208227It really isn't because burning lasers are useful against a wide range of non-human targets as well such as cameras, helicopters, drones. They also are poorly regulated, which helps. Any weapon requires proficiency, even firearms.>>64208228A laser is still cheaper both initially and long term. You "reload" with pennies worth of electricity. Not to mention it's much more stealthy than a firearm and can be taken most places without any hassle. >>64208234Well yeah, not a picosecond, but a microsecond for sure. 5w lasers are that powerful.
>>64208123From a purely practical standpoint, how will the prosecutor ever get you in front of a jury in the first place if you use a laser? It's not like the dindu could identify you in a lineup if he's got no eyes.
>>64208270alright euro, first read>>64208253second, it might be good against cameras, I don't care, it wont stop someone reliably.third, ammo is cheap, your life isn't, use a gun.
>>64208251But brother, you're replying as well
>>64208270You have to be 12. Ignoring an area weapon that does the same thing while believing you can aim a .5mm dot.
>>64208270>a microsecond for sureSource? I can't find anything on time for damage based on energy.
>>64208243>>64208253First off, this is even suggesting that the poor and crime producing cohorts of society can access justice, which is even less likely when you consider they need to pay medical bills.Secondly, I could also maim them with a firearm and get the same outcome. Same principle with bladed weapons.
Are you the anon from many years ago trying to convince us a laser in his shoe was a good idea?
>>64208305>even suggesting that the poor and crime producing cohorts of society can access justice,They can
>>64208305>maimno, it would kill. that's the whole point. btw you need to be 18 to post here.

>>64208310>>64208291See >>64208283>>64208297The wikipedia page on laser safety has some interesting numbers. I believe class 3b lasers damage eyes within 1/100th of a second (which is still good)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety>>64208315Oh yeah, that's why nobody has survived a gunshot or a knife wound. Ever. Guns are just that lethal. Yeah right.
>>64208066Only tangentially related but I am genuinely surprised nobody has carried out a mass blinding attack using a laser. Shit of Aliexpress is more than powerful enough to blind people at long distances and oblique angles. Open air stadiums seem vulnerable as fuck and basically everyone would look at the direction of the beam before they clued in what it was. Any old shithead could get hundreds if not thousands in just a couple of seconds.
>>64208366>mass blinding attack using a laserWhy? The point of terrorism is the terror, you need people to be scared and a whole lot of dismembered bodies does that better than a lot of blind people.
>>64208375the point is that it's easy and sudden. not that it's more effective. and blindness is the sort of thing that fucks up your life enough that most people are going to be scared of it.
>>64208404So you think you are going to blind someone in a stadium, they are going to continue to sit there calmly and when the people next to them go blind everyone is going to sit around calmly?You'll get 2 or 3 before the crowd panics at which point a grenade would have been more effective for both terror and casualties.
>>64208432it's pretty clear you have no clue the kids of power these things are putting out.
>>64208366You arnt getting past security with a laser. Also pic rel
>>64208375That particulary laser gun can set your clothes on fire and give you deep third degree burns in second though, the other anon failed to explain I dont have the video on hand but its sick
>>64208066Antifa terrorists tried to use these on cops in their George Floyd riots and they didn't do shit. Cops only looked mildly annoyed.
>>64208095You blind somebody in self defense and somehow avoid going to prison for assault, you're going to be paying that nignog money for the rest of your life, he's going to ghetto lottery you and some jewish lawyer is going to win your money from you.
>>64208270Why not make the laser a laser gun that way you can have the best of both worlds
>>64208308It might be the retard from a couple years ago that swore up and down that lightning rockets were a valid home defense tool.
>>64208862No, he's currently serving a life sentence for murdering his neighbors.
>>64208066>but most people don't have the goggles required to not get their eyes burned out and ruined.Change that>https://www.leupold.com/sentinel-matte-black-laser-safe
Didn't the last laser schizo here end up killing a guy (with a regular gun of course, not a laser)
>>64208375Blinding a stadium full of people would leave a whole city with lots of disabled people to take care of. That'd be a huge burden, even more than dead people. And it'd strike terror into everyone else.>What if it happened to us too?There'd be living reminders around them.>>64208520Consider Omar getting hired as janny at the stadium. Prep time isn't unknown to them.Or do it at a crowded train station or city center..
>>64208066My Dad had that same laser. He said one time at night some dude in a truck cut him off on the highway so he shined that laser into the truck's cab and the truck almost crashed.
>>64208520Lots of stadiums you don't even have to be inside.
>>64208153>Kill yourself along with the attackerBold strategy.
>>64212145Your dad sounds like a piece of shit.
>>64213028if you honestly feel that way then maybe you'd be happy to know he is dead now and it cost me 4 grand
Well fuck now I need to go outside with welding goggles -and- layered anti-laser glasses for full spectral protection.
