The Photonic Disruptor is not your ordinary laser pointer. It's actually classified as a non-lethal weapon. Wicked Technology, the creators of the Photonic Disruptor, designed it to help military and law enforcement stun potential targets dead in their tracks. The beam of this laser is so bright, that even brief eye contact will leave you stunned and temporarily blinded. So what can you do with a "laser weapon"? Since MethodShop.com readers live everywhere from military bases in Iraq, to suburbia, its practical uses will vary greatly from user to user. But from the battlefield to boardroom, this this tactical laser will leave anyone within eyesight totally stunned. Requirements: 2 AAA batteries Opposable Thumb Aim

Non-Lethal Military Grade Laser Weapon

Compared to other Wicked Technology products, like the Nexus and TORCH, the Photonic Disruptor laser was not created to burn things. It is a non-lethal weapon used to stun threats for military and law enforcement. The Photonic Disruptor is officially classified as a TALI (Threat Assessment Laser Illuminator) and was even featured in an episode of the Discovery Channel show "Future Weapons.” For users looking to mount the Photonic Disruptor to a rifle, the laser weapon is equipped with versatile focus-adjustable collimating lenses to compensate for range and power intensity.

Rugged Waterproof Design

Because the Photonic Disruptor was designed with military and law enforcement in mind, Wicked Technology had to make it rugged and waterproof. Not only is the entire casing covered in rugged plastic, but the end cap (battery cover) has a rubber ring that seals off the battery chamber and ensures that no internal parts are affected.

We submerged the Photonic Disruptor in a glass bowl and the laser didn't lose any intensity. As seen in the video below it shines on, like the moon and the stars and the sun. Kind of like a John Lennon song.

Brightness

The Photonic Disruptor is extremely bright, especially in dark or low light environments. But day or night, dark or bright, anyone who catches an eye socket full of Photonic Disruptor will be temporarily blinded. Gazing into the beam of the Photonic Disruptor is like staring at the sun.

What's In the Box

The Photonic Disruptor comes in a nice little black storage box with a magnetic sealing lid. Included with the laser is a warning sticker and power measurement data-testing sheet. The moment you pick up this laser for the first time, you'll notice the hefty-weight, rubber sealed coating and thick durable lens.

Testing It Out

Here are some pictures and videos of various tests we did with the Photonic Disruptor:

Battery Life

"It's better to burn out than fade away" is a famous lyric from a Neil Young song called "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)." This lyric is very fitting when it comes to high-powered lasers and battery life.

Before you run off to perform your own "tests" with the Photonic Disruptor, grab a handful of AAA batteries. The Photonic Disruptor requires 2 AAA batteries and the maximum amount of time you'll get out of each pair of batteries is 90 minutes. This is much higher compared to other Wicked Technology products, but you'll probably want to have some spare batteries just in case. Also note, you'll see the best results from your laser within the first 15 to 30 mins.
