It seems very practical in certain situations with proper precaution.

Where are all the people fear mongering about kalk paste/powder? I am pretty sure enough of that in the eye will make you go blind too. I imagine it is pretty nasty inhaled as well.

Anyone playing around with a 1w laser deserves everything that is coming to them.

Personally The biggest danger I see in the use of this, I am sure it has been mentioned here or on RC, is accidentally blinding a fish. Is one little misfire for a few milliseconds enough to permanently damage their sight with such a strong beam?

it absolutely is on the rc threads they are going to great lengths to avoid this, they are trying to make a protective shield you can put over the spot to be lasered so not to reflect onto fish or peoples eyes

It was a long thread I did not feel like reading to the end. I also wonder how easy or difficult it is for fish to see and avoid the beam.
