Does this toy really have a laser? Is it dangerous for kids' eyes?

The pair light up. You can't see a laser shooting but the units are interactive so the devices light up and make a sound when you shoot and when you've been hit

Yes, this is safe for kids and they really like it. I like it because it do not need any batteries and electric circuits. Its pure mechanical in operation, spring based. I really have bad experience with battery base toys. I will absolutely recommend it for kids of 6+ age.

I see nothing when it is on. The laser goes off when the mouse is turned over, so there is no eye danger. Not sure what you mean by courtesy light. I love the mouse.

ThinkFun's website says it uses a Class 2 laser. Not sure I would let small children play unattended, based on the Wikipedia description of this kind of laser: "A Class 2 laser is safe because the blink reflex will limit the exposure to no more than 0.25 seconds. It only applies to visible-light lasers (400-700 nm). Class-2 lasers are limited to 1 mW continuous wave, or more if the emission time is less than 0.25 seconds or if the light is not spatially coherent. Intentional suppression of the blink reflex could lead to eye injury. Many laser pointers and measuring instruments are class 2." ThinkFun's website says it uses a Class 2 laser.

It is a real airsoft gun, meaning it is not a real gun for killing, but it is not necessarily a child's toy, either. It shoots little pellets, which could possibly injure someone if it hits the eye, so safety precautions should be followed for the users and participants.

Not that I have seen. I'll take one if you can find it. Also this is only good for an indoor range. Laser is lost in daylight. Maybe ok at dusk or dawn. Indoor is best.

its not a laser, it's only a red dot, and the switch is mounted on the unit. the red dot is only visible within the scope.

It is a true laser and it does project a green dot on the target. Much more suitable for lowlight, inside or dark situations. It is not the brightest laser for daytime use. The price is reasonable, and as you would expect you cannot buy a $200 item for less than $50. In short you get what you pay for a reasonably good laser.

Thats a tough one IMO, its made of light plastic so it's safe in that aspect but the blades do spin quite fast. Would really only be a problem if it were to hit one of his eyes. It does take some practice and patience to fly correctly. With out trying to sound rude, it's possible the child may either break the item in a short period of time or lose patience trying to get to fly right. It really depends on the child and thier capabilities at that particular age. I hope this helped!

No, this specific model does not. The model with factory-installed [and tested] laser costs $70.00 more and is well worth the additional money. We have both models in stock and ready to ship. Thank you for asking. Less Lethal Action Sales.

it shoots a little plastic pellet about the size of a pea. not hard enough to hurt anyone, unless it possible hit you in the eye. it's definitely not a real gun, but maybe a toy for an adult.

It has button eyes. We always used it in supervised settings until our little one was old enough for soft toys with button eyes.

At night, I have played with the laser up to a mile away, but, in the daylight it is extremely weak, 20' max. If I were going to buy one now I would get the green laser.

I would say probably not. I have rather close-spaced eyes, I believe, and use them about as close-together as they'll go. For a smaller child, you'd probably be better off with something made specifically for children.

No laser... Even though pics show it is included. You can find them online... Also these rifles are great for the price and perfect beginners airsoft.

I don't know if it would pop a balloon but it does produce a concentrated beam of light. Would not want to have it pointed into my eyes! This laser does not just project a dot, in darkness it produces a light trail that can reach hundreds of feet.

Not quite. It is a close copy. The switch is not as robust. The housing seems to be from the same source. The laser itself is not quite as bright as other 5mw lasers we own. Probably <4mw but usable at defensive ranges. Most self defense encounters are less than 25'.KB
