A handheld laser likened to a Star Wars lightsabre and so powerful it can instantly blind and "set fire to skin and other body parts" can be bought online and shipped to the UK.
The device - with a beam 1,000 times stronger than sunlight on the skin - is touted by makers as "the most dangerous laser ever created".

From that news report, we don't even know the range

It's a Laser. The range is infinite. But the effective strength is when its up close where the beam is still concentrated before it starts to spread. I too would like to know the specs on this thing.

Hmmm... can you spot the error in that sentence?
I've bolded the parts that matter.
