They show a guy in ordinary clothes using this. I bet that he has a
helmet on, so he isn't blinded by the first focused glint.

Sunlight is about a kilowatt per square meter. If the actual beam is a
millimeter by a millimeter, the power density is a million to one over
sunlight.

And that cleaning beam can probably cut fingers off. Or clean to the
bone, at least at first.

And the laser is not in that handheld thing, which must be fed by a big
fiber bundle.
