the whole laser thing is reminicent of a soccer mom scenerio. oh yes, lasers can and will damage your eye, but cmon, get real. the amount of time youd have to shine the laser in your eye for damage to occur is greater than youll expose yourself to in a game, indoors or out (thou, im not sure why youd have a laser unless your squad has nv outdoors)
the half a second someone beams you in the eye before you react doesnt do any noteable damage, other than bleach your rods. short quick exposures arent harmful, but a prolonged extensive exposure would (like hold you down and beam it in your eye for a minute) its like looking at the sun. grey's comment about "my eye sight is more important than someone cool toy" just kinda made me chuckle (not at you grey, at the attitude behind a statment like that) people just like to find something to wave their arms about... lasers arent healthy, but theyre not going to kill you at the extent we use them.
