look at the pages for the specific laser models, some have videos of the lasers lighting matches and projecting highly visible beams.

pretty neat.

None of those come with mounting accessories for attachment to a shark. At the very least I expect a kitten harness for my lasers.

Uhhh.... Anything more powerful than 1 mW (some of those are listed as 125 mW) hand-held, outside of a lab, should be used with great caution. A beam of that power could reflect off of ANYTHING and blind you instantly, or blind other people from incredible distances.

These things are NOT TOYS - there is no comparison to your run of the mill laser pointer.
