Ultimate test!
(DO NOT ACTUALLY DO THIS, SARCASM ALERT)
1. Set the laser up on a table and turn it on.
2. Sit down in front of the laser so that it's going into your eye. (Do this maybe for about an hour)
3. If
you do not go blind, it is eye safe.
4. To check if you went blind, clasp one hand over your left eye, and focus on the dot in the picture below. Repeat with your right eye. If deformations/vanishing lines appear while focused on the dot in the middle you have damaged your retina.
5. If you can't see the picture, or anything for that matter, you are blind and have now verified that your laser device is too dangerous to be used at airsoft games. However know that through your testing you saved the eyes of hundreds of other players. You should be proud of that.
Or, just get a Class 1 eye safe laser that has regulated documentation supplied with it.
Then you will know for sure if the device you are using is actually safe to use.
