RAINBOWS!

Not really given only white light does that.

All you'd get is a thin band of light on the wall rather than a dot.

Don't gimme dat. Your destroying the dreams of an innocent young man; give me hope! Give me rainbows!

But no. You bring me death, pain, pestilence, and light wavelengths.

Well to hell with laser-pointers than! I don't need them! You don't need them! BAN LASER POINTERS! And hunt down the dogs who make them.

I got a keyring laser pointer for christmas a few years ago. I hooked it up to a cannibalized pen light so I could power it with AAA's.

Yeah, I did it to my friend's cat, she was running in circles and pouncing all over the place. I even got her to try crawling up my friend's leg, at which point he told me to knock it off.

*Whistles innocently* I have done that so many times...it's great and never gets old. My cats are lazy so I usually did it with my sisters cats...great fun.

One word: Deodorant.

The effect of the beam being semi-visible is so cool.

What else is fun is getting four mirrors facing each other with the laser pointer in the middle, then breath or get smoke somehow. Great fun.

You're only jealous of those with laser pointers, and although you can't get rainbows, if you shine a laser pointer at a crystal at the right angle its pretty cool.

Rant off.
How about shutting up? The US military has never considered such a device, and blinding weapons are specifically illegal.
Which can't be said for some third world nations and even Iraq that enjoyed the idea of using such weapons to disorient the enemy, conventions or no.

i think soldiers, at least western army soldiers, have anti laser stuff in their goggles.

Only works if you know what intensity and wavelength the laser is at. If they have variables of the two, then they could just switch and bypass the goggles. Plus wearing such goggles would be a disadvantage anyway.

What you want is a 60mW class IIIb green laser. The beam is fully visible without any fog or mist and has a range of several miles. Unfortunately it's rather expensive...anyone got $600 burning a hole in their pockets?

I have, but that's purely boogey money at university. I can always use one of the physics lab lasers if I want to burn stuff.

You can do some fun light interference experiments with lasers. Quantum mechanics is fun.

Heh, my dog used to chase the little red dot around the floor. It was always fun to watch.

Don't be swinging a god damn laser pointer in my area, fool.

Don't mess with the Kuja man.

Bah, you don't need fancy laser pointers.

Bit of sunlight, and your watch (assuming it's shiny)
