A handgun is cheaper, more reliable, and works better for ruining someone's life

it's not silent nor invisible

Use subsonic rounds + silencer and atleast it's more concealable than a IR-gun big as a rifle

They are too stupid, 1w infrared laser diode is cheap as fuck from china
his build is big because of the lens and the industrial laser hes using but you can make it pocketable with smaller parts, just whip it out and blind someone permanently from 5m easily

Street cameras will pick it up tho

>Street cameras will pick it up tho
phone cameras too, with my phone I can see the remote control ir

Then you have a shit phone

Criminals only care about making dosh, making someone blind doesn't accomplish that

This source of infrared is really strong and would be visible on many good phones

It could be used to blind someone and then once they are blind you could do anything to them
Weaker lasers could be used for temorary blindings and kidnappings
>why not use visible lasers?
Someone could see it from faraway
If you missed the victim they would know (with ir you could just walk away)
Aditional shock because victim dosent know what happned once blinded

this

op is just having sadist fantasies, there's no advantage to this system

a knife is cheaper and more efficient if u know where to cut

Police cameras/CCTVs pick up IR you STUPID FUCKS. How do you think they see in the night?

Can you ignite alcohol bottles with it? Let's say, Whisky or Vodka.

>would be visible on many cheap phones
Fixed.
God phones (and cameras) have IR filters built-in.

People who are intelligent enough to figure stuff like that out usually have figured out a better way to live their life.

It's not a good surrendering weapon.
What the criminals want from a gun is control over others, not something to fuck with the life.

read up on the havana syndrome.

>it's invisible

not to the surveillance state

Mexican here, I can confirm that killing is a way of control over other, there's narcos for example. Also, hurting but not killing is another way to do it.

The stuff is rather transparent, and liquids make good heatsinks, so no.

Yes, but its a messy way that can go wrong.
Pointing a gun at a person is much safer than pointing a led toy.

Criminals = low IQ.
