That "MIGHT" work on someone who is prone or has severe motion sickness.

Shine a light in my eyes and I will close them look down and follow sounds and direction of the light to you.

I'd have to agree... probably just by wearing sunglasses or just regular eyeglasses would negate some of the "weird" optical illusions created by this puke-saber. How do I know? Because optically things change... especially when a optic is NOT perfect. Since 99% of most people glasses are not perfect, it will react differently to the light wavelengths and patterns.

Basically anyone who has a pair of optics on, would have decreased sensitivity or not even be bothered by it...

the point is that if an ARMED bad guy is pointing a gun at you, you flash the light at them and they can't aim. It isn't bs.

don't know about you, but I can't hit the broad side of a barn with a pistol on a good day... if that flashing puke light is in your face while your trying to aim, I doubt you could hit the person shining it

I hunt with pistols whenever I can.
Coon, squirell, rabbit etc.

I wont go into details because I'm not sure if there is a statue of limitation.......

On one paticualar coon hunt, one night, things got crazy... I had to shot out a 2 million candle power spot light while being shot at with 12 ga from about 75 yards with a .22 pistol.

I bet if you squeeze off a few rounds, flashlight boy ain't gonna stand still for too long, giving you an chance to properly aim.

That won't work on blind people. Lead poisoning will.
