Jan 18 2010Pew Pew Pew!: Homemade Blu-Ray Phaser Pops Balloons From Across The Room
Remember the homemade Blu-Ray laser-phaser I POSTED WAY BACK IN DECEMBER 2007? Well here's a video of the thing popping balloons from at least eight or ten feet. Ooh, ooh -- do my eyes next!
Starfleet Command has discovered a planet full of vicious balloons, and Jay "Scotty" Rob has modified the classic phaser pistol from The Original Series to be able to pop 'em left and right.
Oh man, I totally need this thing for my next presentation to the Board of Directors. So, Board, as is evident from this chart I just pulled off the internet, I've done little to no work for the past six months. Buuuut....POP! POP! POP POP POP!! Leave the promotion on my desk, I'll be at the bar.
Homemade Star Trek phaser is powerful enough to pop balloons [dvice]
Thanks to Darkpatu, Zmann966, and Lee, who can pop balloons with nothing but their thoughts. MINDFREAKS!

First? Does anybody like me yet?
^ Yes, and No.
I have a phaser that is good for popping cherries.

I want one! But I also don't want to take apart a several hundred dollar blu-ray burner to do it.

Do want! I would totally go to the store and make with the popping of the balloons. Everyone would think I was psychic!
I have a dull life, I must find enjoyment somewhere...

i can't wait till these are powerful enough to cut off limbs. By that time the will be illegal to own privately but then it is just more incentive to join the military

There is no way this thing doesn't somehow cause cancer.
9. Matt-Zilla - January 19, 2010 10:58 AM
sweet fucking raptor jesus that is sweet, wonder how hard it would be to make it truly functional and be able to stun and or kill your foes
still, i want something thats not as clumsy or random as a phaser, perhaps an elegant weapon from a more civilized age

@2 ha, nice
@4 me too
@8 everything causes cancer these days
This is badass once it can do more damage than popping balloons. I hope he finds a way to amp that blu ray up into a berzerker so he can post another video of what happens when shoving the thing into the eyeball of @1 & blasting cowshit all over the wall behind him

Did anyone notice how the dude's (or dudette's) arms look like those of a midget? I think we just found the solution to the robot apocalypse: laser midgets.

If you think that's wild, you should see Agent Jack Bowser hunting down the Underwear Bomber (hilarious!):
