How powerful is that green laser? Does the diode have an IR filter in it to prevent eye damage?

I've looked into a green laser for my gun before, but I've concluded that a lot of the airsoft ones are not safe enough to warrant their use.

Also, IR lasers are a terrible idea for airsoft guns, to put it plainly. Not only do you not know if your eyes are recieving direct IR radiation, but IR lasers can burn a retina very easily as well. There's a reason why visible lasers have IR filters built in. I'd strongly suggest sticking with <= 5 mW visible lasers with the IR filter for airsoft.

A cool effect isn't worth making someone blind.
