I keep hearing that 1 watt lasers will indeed damage a camera. Destroy, not sure. They are available from many online retailers or just go to any large city and buy them at dodgy vape stores.
A 1 watt laser WILL fuck your eyes. Be smart.
Also, green lasers are very visible and will attract attention. Ultraviolet lasers are not.visible by humans. Just saying.
