My friend reckons he's getting a lightsaber

No joke. He really thinks he's getting one. He says that it can go for 120 miles (let's shoot down airplanes!) and that it easily burns stuff. And if you even look at it from the corner of your eye while it is on a bright surface, your eye is gone.

Anyone hear anything like this? He swears he saw it on the internet somewhere and placed an order...

I know that the military is developing a laser that'll destroy the outer shell of ballistic missiles and destroy them using their own payload. However, this is stuff that consumers probably cannot just buy off the internet.

Your friend is either having a bit of fun at your expense, or he is an idiot.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I know he's not pulling a joke. Secondly, he's not a complete idiot. He just may have stumbled across a really random site peddling lightsabers, something the greater GFF community would enjoy

He must be talking about those class IV laser products, which anyone could get prodived you have a 100 dollars or more to spend.
Unless he's a big spender and bought a two to 20W laser 'toy' capable of cutting and burning things in half with relative ease. I doubt he could get one commercially though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Could be both =o

The only real thing stopping people from making a lightsaber is probably a power source. You need a LOT of power for a mother fucking blade of light that can cut a man's arm off like butter and go through steel in a quick hit, Duracel ain't got shit on what they use.

Imagine though, if they started mass producing lightsabers. A lot of fights would end REAL quick. I'd imagine you'd have to have permits after permits to own and use one, sorta like a high grade military gun, one that is technically allowed to be used by civillians, but you need to have a CLEAN as A WHISTLE record to buy one.

Hell, years from now, if they made one, they could make a lot of money auctioning the first ones off:

"Now ladies and gentlemen for our main bid of the night: The creator of Star Wars and appropriatley the first owner of our bid: George Lucas's Personal Lightsaber. The lightsaber was of course inspired by his movies and were used by Jedi and Sith alike. This one of a kind blade features a custom hilt fashioned after the character Ayala Secura, and in addition uses a unique 'Orange' color crystal. The bidding will start tonight at Half a Million dollars."

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Don't forget that its supposed to go for 120 miles (before the light is scattered enough or something like that).

120 miles is about 200 km's and being able to have a burning ray of light for any distance over a few metres seems very... uhhh... impossible?

Actually they're just 'green' laser lights, which, unlike red lasers, leave a visible trail of light instead of a dot on one end.

Good luck cutting through butter with that thing though

Get me the Anakin one that can change colors. I almost got that one, but then I settled for the Samuel L. Jackson, a great $30 well wasted. Oh, plus almost $6 in batteries.

Anyway, post pics when your friend gets it.

Your friend probably has no idea what he is getting.
More than likely, it is a slightly higher-than-usual powered laserbeam. Unfortunatly for your friend however, battery supplies suck for that sort of application, and he will probably have to run through hundreds of batteries for a little bit of usage.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ah yes, this was posted before the crash. If I wasn't such a cheap ass I'd have to buy one. Laser

I would buy one, dick around with it for about a week, and then drop it in a desk drawer and forget about it. Its about the equivalent of buying a sword at the county fair. You just look like a fag in the long run.

Unforunately a bright laser with which to crash planes isn't actually a lightsaber with which to sever limbs.

Also, if it can completely destroy your eye the second it even enteres into your periferal (sp?) vision, how is it someone got a picture and how does he plan to own one without having his eyeballs incinerated?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Its just one of those things you tell the guys at a party.

"So whats up with Joe?"
"Dude!? You didnt hear?! Joe got in a fight with a lightsabre."
"Wow, Joes like wicked cool now."
"Hell yeah! Wanna go look at stuff?"
"Sure, wanna get Joe...oh wait...that whole lightsabre thing."

Actually, according to a video on the site, you can "make" one out of the laser.
http://www.wickedlasers.com/Realsaber.wmv
the video is there. i was looking through their site and couldn't spot the actual product itself, so i'm assuming it was made. so what he's getting is a pesudo-lightsaber or laser that can be made into one.

I like how both the thickness of the beam and the intensity of the laser increase with distance.
