Holy Schnikie, a Real Laser Gun!

Engadget is running a little blurb on a commercially available laser gun that, if I must say, is totally fricken awesome!

For about 1750 bucks, you can own a handheld laser gun power enough to shoot through "the hardest of metals." The thing only runs on a couple of AA batteries, too.

The Laser Ray Gun (at the bottom on the page) gets somewhere between 120 and 150 shots on a set of batteries and is, of course, quite dangerous. In fact, it's a certified Class IV laser...

No, I don't know what the means either, but I don't intend to fuck around with it to find out.

Anywho, here are some specs:

• Input Voltage: 12VDC @ 1.5AMPS, 20-30sec. Charge Time
• Rod: 3X1/4" Nd:GLASS With Integral Mirrors
• Output: 3 Joules @ 1.06 Microns Infra Red
• Storage Capacity: 270 Micro farads @ 2 KV
• Flash lamp Energy @ 1000 Volts: 135 Joules, @1500 Volts: 300 Joules
• Single Colimnatting Lens
• 120 to 150 Shots From Internal AA Batteries
• Certified Class 4 Laser Product

Alright, now all I need is my jetpack and a god damned flying car and I'll be set.
