Let's see the ATF regulate this one...
http://news.nationalpost.com/2010/06/16/working-lightsaber-the-most-dangerous-laser-ever-created/
Star Wars fans rejoice: someone has finally succeeded in creating a working lightsaber. And it can be yours for only US$197.97.
Hong Kong company Wicked Lasers has manufactured “the most dangerous laser ever created,” a lightsaber with a blue beam that can burn retinas and set skin on fire.
The Spyder III Pro Arctic features a 1 watt laser the company warns is the most powerful portable laser available. The beam is a thousand times more powerful than sunlight on skin and the manufacturer warns it could cause cancer.
It’s definitely not something you want to give to your seven-year-old Star Wars fanatic.
Cautions Wicked Lasers:
Warning: Extremely dangerous is an understatement to 1W of laser power. At close range, this Class 4 beam will cause immediate and irreversable retinal damage. Use with extreme caution and use only when wearing proper safety goggles with an O.D. of 3+ is required and 4.4+ for longer exposures.
For your convenience, the Arctic comes packaged with free safety glasses.
World Lasers says it ships the lightsaber to over 70 countries, Canada included.

FQ13 who will admit to being a bit tempted. And yes Eric, they do appear to be rails. It lets you mount a blaster to your light sabre. Its for the agnostics. ;D ;D ;D

Perhaps you refer to your pitiful little band of rebels.....

I think it may actually be a cutting laser. I looked at the comany web site to find out more about it (there is nothing listed), but they specialize in industrial laser cutting equipment.

Hey, that thing will definitely put your eye out.
*now all it needs is a gun.
