BURNINATING THE COUNTRYSIDE! BURNINATING THE PEASANTS! BURNINATING ALL THE PEOPLES AND THEIR THATCHED ROOF COTTAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!
Who the fuck has 10W lasers at home? That’s the kind of stuff my local attosecond physics department uses.
According to a quick search, anybody with 200 dollars they want to burn without leaving forensic evidence

You obviously have to seek them out, but 10W lasers aren't that prohibitively expensive. Most of the expense and specialization in those physics lasers go into the combination of 'attosecond' and high power. Getting short pulse lasers at high powers is very hard due to material non-linearities and it essentially burning itself in it's own laser cavity. CO2 lasers and other laser just specialized in burning things aren't nearly that expensive.
Don't point a laser at a building with a FLIR system installed to detect laser eavesdropping devices.
You will have a bad time.
I'm curious about the "if they have FLIR, you will have a bad time" part
Buildings with FLIR detection are federal courthouses, FBI buildings, etc.
Yea you can also instantly blind people with lasers that aren't even visible to the human eye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa_tCzIMJjE
