- I don't know about the circuitry provided... but the stuff in there about a
- 2 mW HeNe laser being dangerous to human eyes is complete bunk.
-
- I would also point out that the claim of "perfect targetting" for a laser
- gunsight just isn't so -- elevation and windage still are factors -- and that
- *seeing* the dot of light from a 2 mW laser at any reasonable distance, in
- anything other than pitch blackness, is damned near impossible.
