Hey everyone, up for a great story?
So I was playing laser tag with a few friends, and it turns out a group of maybe college kids (all about 21) were celebrating their friends birthday at the same laser course as me and my friends. So we start the first round and the college kids kept grouping together in packs of 15-20 and started charging threw the place. It is against the rules to do this (you cant have more then 3 to a group) and the staff wasn't doing anything about it. So after 5 attempts to get everyone on my team to stick together and fight them back I got really annoyed and needed a solution. So finally I looked at the gun, and low and behold there is a laser warning sticker on it. Warning Class IIIB laser product
880nm
>20mw
This got me thinking. I needed a better way to fight them. So my friends and I took a trip down to the army navy store a few blocks over and picked up a 880nm infrared flashlight :twothumbs for 75 bucks. Popped in the batteries and went back to the place. Sure enough the college kids were still there. So the round begins and there they are in the pack of 20 kids walking towards me (I was hidden in a mass of fog infront of a machine) then one of them saw the red blinking light on my vest and they were just about to fire when i turned on my flashlight and shined it right at them. All of them were hit in about 5 seconds. and they were all staring at me like wtf??? I just smiled and walked away. After that round we left. It was pretty sweet.

so I can't take a picture of it. I'll ask one of my friends if I can borrow his one of these days.
