Awesome! Thanks so much Johnyz!

Thanks for all the replies and encouragements. Now... I hardedly apologize in advance for the following very noob question, but my investigations have left me slightly confused and unsure: Is a 5mW laser considered class 3A or 3B (or 3R or 3B)? What I've read at times make it sound like 3A...

3zuli and Prototype, those are all some great ideas, however given the increased price, complexity and my novice status (not even sure if I'll be able to extract and wire the thing up properly!) I think I'll stick with these $1 5mW red lasers for the time being. I have to say, I am really...

Hello all. I have recently gotten into modding Nerf guns, and one of the things I have wanted to do from the start was add some laser sights, without actually buying real laser sights. I recently saw this Dead Space 2 Plasma Cutter video and realized my goal might be easier than I thought. I...
