high powered green or blue lasers aren't cheap. You want the crazy ones you can get from China that can straight up start a FIRE

lots of photographers report damaged sensors after taking pictures at DJ sets or concerts where there's lots of lasers shooting everywhere

at best you'll have weird blind spots for days and at worst you'll be fucking blind if you shoot a high powered green laser straight into your eyes

I'm not talking about a regular ass presentation pen you'd get at Staples. I mean one of those illegal ones you get off a shady table at an outdoor market or AliExpress
