1) Customs, the FDA, etc, doesn't check every single package that comes through the border. I've got plenty of items that I shouldn't have

2) You can STILL get the green 8mw lasers from G&P

3) A chinese manufacturer sends someone elses sample to the FDA to get approved then modifies their design to be cheaper. Come on, it's China, they don't play by the rules.

4) The real steel PEQ-15s that some people have operate on 2 settings; .6mw and motherfucking 30mw

5) A 5mw laser, designated "safe if handled properly" which specifically means you won't intentionally or unintentionally be shining it in someone's eye, when beamed through, say, a 4x scope, is now a serious risk.

We can play the minimum chance of occurrence game, but the fact is the serious threat is there. I'd rather not have the chance of beaming out someone's eye.

The "flammable gas" we use to power GBB's, is not actually very flammable as we're using the liquid instead of the vapor. Propane fueled torches and stoves are run off the vapor.

There's IS a point at which a flashlight starts to cause eye damage, but it's measured in luxes, not lumens. To more easily enforce the rule, many game hosts have banned flashlights over 300 lumens. Nobody knows what kind of luxes their flashlight is putting out.

Frags DO sometimes blow up in people's hands. But burned skin isn't as bad as losing eyesight.
