Accidentally set fire to a squirrel!?!

[LMNOP]

***MOD EDIT:
Thread locked for Rule #3. Unsafe operation.

Lasers are extremely dangerous to the user and ANYONE who may be exposed directly or indirectly by reflection. There can be immediate and irreversible damage including blindness from even incidental exposure even at long distances. Airgun Nation cannot permit such unsafe practices. ***

Hey all - just a word of warning - be very careful the type of laser sight you put on your PCP. I picked up a blue laser off Ali Express for my Notos and evidently it is one of the higher powered ones. As I was sighting on a squirrel it went up like a tinderbox. Thankfully I was able to dispatch it before it started a fire but FYI and be careful with the laser sights and pointers!

Roasted tree rat.

Wait what?! Never mind the fire; how'd you catch a squirrel that was in fire

 

[beerthief]

why did the squirrel sit still with its hide catching fire and let you shoot it ? I would think the Squirrel would have moved at first heat.

You were supposed to post this on April 1st not May 1st

I made the shot on the run, it was held on his COM for about 2 seconds then “whoosh” like I threw gas on it with a match. It ran off and I made the shot after first movement.

One of these new woke Pre-cooked squirrels maybe?

Why would someone want to use a blue laser as a sighting tool? Even doctors know better. They sight with red and then burn what they need with blue. How did you mount it to the gun? Honestly sounds funny as all get, though.

Exactly hence my word of warning. This was a 5 watt laser. I figured it would be brighter hence the “class 4” rating.

Nope, just a remote deathray for squirrels.

Don't be surprised if you have eye damage from this stunt

Well I'll be that's hilarious information

If you had accidentally reflected that laser off a window or reflective surface it would have blinded you in about a millisecond. NO REALLY. Get rid of that thing. It is very, very, very dangerous.

You know you just earned your Star Wars merit badge.

Red is for pointing, green is for measuring/tracking, and blue is for medical and burning Blu-Rays. Anything past blue is for alien defense.

 

[beerthief]

after mounting and experimenting i would suggest you get your eyes checked and tell the doctor about the blue ray soon.

They use lasers to trim trees in chyna. That could have saved me a lot of climbing back in the day.

J~
