635nm RED WEAPONS
LASER AIMER

635nm Red Weapons Laser Aimer, retail $9.99
Manufactured by (Unknown)
Last updated 12-01-12




This is a red laser aiming device that attaches to a handgun. Because it uses a directly-injected red laser diode, it should withstand a gun's recoil ("kick") better than most DPSS (yellow, green, or blue) laser aimers would.

You can use it with the included tape switch on a straight cord.
The cord measures ~14" in length.

The product came in a plastic clamshell package, however there was no labelling of any type in or on it (just the transparent water-clear plastic clamshell with no retail labelling). The front of the unit is labelled "BRONS" arcing across the top and "LASER AVDIO" arcing across the bottom.


SIZE



I do not own or have access to a gun, so I am not prepared to tell you how to mount it to a pistol or align it.

Feed the unit first, and THEN you can go set fire to the playpen*...er...uh...GO HOSE SOMETHING DOWN.

* I guess I've been listening to the Worm Quartet song "Let's Break some Furniture" too much lately.

"...Throw the loveseat down the stairs, take an axe to all the chairs, soon we won't have nowhere to sit..."
"...We'll make that Lazy Boy go down with just a couple of whacks"..."let's see if that Scotchguard can protect it from an axe..."
"...They're threatening to go on Sally Jesse Raphael+, so she'll send me to boot camp where they'll beat me till I'm well..."
"...My parents have so much to learn about young growing boys, if you don't want your stuff trashed then buy me cooler toys..."
"...Now we've shredded every ottoman the counter's cut in three, the dining table's burning and the chairs are soaked with pee..."
"...My sister's futon stares at me I swear I heard it laugh, let's see if it still chuckles when it's {toliet word censored} cut in half..."
"...There's mommy's little table lined with rings perfume and pearls, let's cut it into little bits & force-feed it to squirrels..."
"...There's nothing left to break here so cummon let's go to Sears (and break some furniture, let's break some furniture)..."
"...Your little coffee table's now a little pile of sticks (let's break some furniture, let's break some furniture)..."
"...We're not making a statement no we're just a bunch of pricks (let's break some furniture, let's break some furniture)..."
"...That recliner may be on wheels but it can't get away (let's break some furniture, let's break some furniture)..."
"...I don't know what a credenza is let's break one anyway (let's break some furniture, let's break some furniture)..."
"...That ottoman, it looks so smug that I just gotta pound it (let's break some furniture, let's break some furniture)..."
"...Tell the security guy that it was like that when we found it (let's break some furniture, let's break some furniture)..."

Neither Worm Quartet nor myself advocate destroying furniture; that {vulgar term for feces} is expensive.


This is Worm Quartet...one guy (Reverend Shoebox) and three worms.

+If you didn't know, Sally Jesse Raphael had a TV talk show in the late 20th century; one of her recurring themes was "Sally's Boot Camp" where parents who were guests on the program could send their unruly teenaged children in order to get them to "straighten up & fly right". Sally was most recognisable by her red-framed eyeglasses.

Now I'm going off on a tangent here — let's see if I can put this choo-choo train back on the tracks...

To turn the unit on, squeeze and hold the tape switch at the end of the cord.
Release pressure on the tape switch to turn the laser aimer off.



To change the battery in this product, unscrew and remove the tailcap, throw it in the {vulgar term for feces}bowl, yank that silver handle on the front of the cistern down, and flush it away...O WAIT!!! YOU'LL NEED THAT!!! So just set it aside instead.

Tip the used CR123A cell out of the barrel and into your hand, and dispose of or recycle it as you see fit.

Insert a new CR123A cell into the barrel, flat-end (-) negative first. This is the opposite of how batteries are installed in most flashlights, so please pay attention to polarity here.

Screw the tailcap back on, and be done with it.
Aren't you glad you didn't flush away that tailcap now?

Current usage measures 18.8mA on the included Panasonic cell.



This is a laser aiming device, not a flashlight meant to be thrashed, trashed, and abused. So I won't throw it against the wall, stomp on it, run over it, swing it against the concrete floor of a patio, try to drown it in the commode, bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoņata (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piņata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout, a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or a pack-of-cards-sized instrument that Fergy Fudgehog uses; and the cannoņata is only used to shoot piņatas to piņata parties away from picturesque Piņata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or inflict upon it punishments that flashlights may have inflicted upon them.

Because I do not own or have access to a gun or anything that even remotely resembles a gun, I cannot demonstrate how this product might be used with one.

Power output measures 2.82625mW (milliwatts). The power output is this low because you do not want to be targeted by the recipient of your laser following a brilliant red laser beam back to you.
This reduced power output helps to prevent you from getting targeted & hosed down in that fashion.

The laser warning label appears to be accurate, both for wavelength and power output. It is labelled as a Class IIIA laser product, which is indeed correct.
When you have the device mounted to a gun, the label is covered, but when the product is unmounted, the label is clearly visible on its side...here, let's show you with a picture...snap...flash...and it's off to the Fotomat we go...

Spectrographic analysis
Same as above; spectrometer's response narrowed to a range of 645nm to 655nm.
This spectrometer reads wavelengths 2.1nm longer than they should be.
According to this then, the laser's wavelength appears to be 649.5nm.

TEST NOTES:
Test unit was purchased on Ebay on 11-23-07, and was received on the afternoon of 12-12-07.


UPDATE: 12-20-07
There are no O-rings on either the bezel or tailcap, so you should not go shooting with it attached to your gun in anything but fair weather.
