Wonder how many people would shine that around w/o the proper eye protection.  Reflections from that could blind you in a hurry.

Note how much smoke / fog he has going on in the room so you can see the profile of the beam.  With out that, you would just see the dot on the wall, not nearly as cool looking.

Someone should build an AR-15 upper that can do that.   Since you wouldn't need the buffer spring you could make the hollow compartment in the butt stock a battery store.  Swap out the trigger group with a lever to actuate the laser.  No need for a magazine, so build a hollowed mag to fill the void with any spare parts needed to keep it running.

Old.  You should check out the stuff he's doing now with the new 5W lasers.

so it's just a laser refracting off the fog? I thought it was fake.

Yes and no.  The 1W+ lasers have beams that are visible even in normal lighting.  This was taken in the middle of the day in a hallway with florescent lighting:

Use the magazine for batteries.  Then, when you run out of power, just switch mags!

I'm working on something similar, but using a green laser in the center, and a ring of high power (45W) IR laser LED's around it.

The green laser will be for targeting, then you activate the IR LED's...ZAP!

Power and cooling are the main issues.

His is damn cool, though.

Phasers are for pussy red shirts.  Blasters rule! You just can't hit anything with them... well stormtroopers can't. ..

Well, as long as the Klingons are wearing black balloon armor, I guess it'll work fine.



I'm just gonna sit back and wait for the FDA and ATF to team up. Double the fun.

Looks like someone has created a perfect special effects tool for the next retro Star Trek movie.  Now they can actually film Captain Kirk firing his phaser pistol and the special effects folks will have the basic weapon effect on film to enhance, not to create.

Using the IR bar diodes to pump a solid-state rod or just on their own? Combining and focusing those diodes will be problematic.

Read a short story about a guy with a soundless gun.  He slaughtered the beasts but because they had no sound to associate with they had no fear and eventually overwhelmed the man.  Can't remember to story title.

He he, if you really think it through you will use 1/4" speaker connectors sticking out of your 20rnd magazine that has 18650 batteries in it. That way you can quick change the battery pack. You will put a low  battery indicator in the charging handle hole, and a rotary switch for different modes and different lasers in the forward assist hole.

I think the "it would probably melt my hand" issue would be more pressing.

Maybe the empty hollow in the buffer tube could be reserved for some way to keep the internals cool and prevent overheating.

The model comes with the sound board, so you can cut the power to it if you don't want the sound.
