Exactly what do those have to do with the OP?

Though it is comforting to know that a great deal of people who suck less go to this forum :) And yeah, the plans for building what I'm interested in might be kind of off, but perhaps we could pool what we know of this technology and perhaps in time, we can find some method of creating new and...

Ah I see. Even in such a short time, I really appreciate you guys bothering to help me understand these concepts! And I will be doing my homework, albeit on top of quite a few other things. So basically, what I am aiming for currently wouldn't be feasible or cost-effective, even though...

So essentially, the technology that we have currently couldn't be used to build a weapon like the Autorifle in the OP. At least as portable, efficient and user-friendly? And I'm more than willing to deviate from the desired housing... at least for now ^_^ How can I calculate that? What type of...

I really did not intend for this to become a debate over history and ethics :undecided: I might have seen the answer somewhere before, but are you sure there is no way, even if done very carefully and with help from enough people, that you couldn't build a laser that can penetrate 6-7cm of...

:bowdown:

Yay And from what I see, I might not be able to use a Yellow colour to achieve the big idea after the first gun. http://laserpointerforums.com/f40/ltsurge-first-laser-gun-burning-yellow-50506.html - First Laser...

From YouTube - Homemade REAL Pulse Laser Gun to YouTube - The Plasma Autorifle ? I will come out right now and say that this particular Laser Rifle is lightweight, incredibly cool, yet highly dangerous (as I have come to understand even the process of building is dangerous). You might say...

Is the purpose of Line Generating Optics to broaden the laser? Does that mean you can see the laser without the use of smoke? And can optics be used with high-powered burning lasers? And if so, do they weaken the output?

That was REALLY informative Ash! :yh: Thank you. Pontiac, I've seen burning yellow lasers before, but are you saying that if I want to achieve a stronger output I should consider using a different colour?

lol! Thank you all for your help

nm- Nanometer? mw- MegaWatt? TEC- Thermo-electric Cooling??? And what do they have to do with Lasers? :undecided: Could you also post all kinds of other useful acronyms, abbreviations, definitions and uses so I might compile this into a useful Thread? EDIT: Sigh... I really need to search...

This may seem like a noobish request, but is there a yellow diode here?

Alright, this thread will be dedicated to the progress in my first ever laser build/first ever laser gun build. Preface: Why Am I Doing This? I have decided the first build: A Yellow Burning Laser Pistol. This pistol will be a precursor to what I hope to achieve, which is a Laser Rifle. The...

Well alright... :D But it will take some time to gather resources and tools. And a somewhat substantial amount of help ^_^; I will post a thread dedicated to this.

But I have no knowledge of building lasers yet... do you really think I have what it takes to build that now?

I hardly doubt that, myself :p Oh, righto

nd:YAG ZVS NE555 Self-Winding Transformer @,@ Yeah, I have some homework to do. And I doubt with no experience I could do anything other than the housing (don't have plexiglass -if that's what you used for it), which might take me long enough! But yes imagination is the word

Well yes, but it would probably benefit me if I learned how to make a laser and learned all of this electronics terminology before diving into something that requires your level of skill

THERE YOU ARE I absolutely must learn how to do this... but I am too green. I suppose I should make my first laser before attempting this. Anyone agree?
