I'm tending to agree---with the vision of the fact you can order anything off the internet, and arming random novice reefkeepers with something that can permanently blind or burn the user or some bystanding kid who stands at a lower level, with, say, a bounce off the reflector or other shiny surface, as someone not remotely used to handling a weapon-sort-of-thing swings it off-target with the button pushed---that's scary, guys.
