Have you got it emitting properly with the camera flash pump? I'm very interested to see how well it ends up working.

Yes the one that this site is offering is $8,000 U.S.

Yes. It will have to be a green laser, because that fits in with the theme of the contest.

i think he meant the actual "laser beam" should be the color green, but thats just a guess

Out of curiosity, where are you planning to get a laser that can handle 1,000,000 watts for any period of time?
Mar 13, 2009. 9:47 AMPKM says:
OK, where are you going to get a custom built 1MW erbium laser built that will fit in a hand-held device? (Assuming that's what you mean by "pistol", anyway). What are you planning to use as a pump?
Mar 15, 2009. 1:09 PMPKM says:
OK... not quite the same as 1,000,000 watts, but otherwise it sounds like this is a real plan not just pie-in-the-sky, so I'll wait for the finished thing before passing judgement.
