Is it possible to build a ray gun at home? With mostly houshold items, it is. Perhaps many of you have seen tutorials online on how to build a laser pistol, but these tutorials are almost always only reliant on weak laser diodes. This pistol is a SOLID STATE PUMPED laser.

In order to prevent confusion, I will explain the difference. A SOLID STATE laser is pumped with intense light from a flash lamp in a single pulse onto a lasing medium. In this tutorial we will be using Neodymium:YAG as our lasing medium. If you build this pistol properly, it should be able to punch through plastics, wood, styrafoam, or even thin metals instantaneously or make blind spots on television screens.

WARNING: Due to the inherent dangers of this project, make sure to take all necessary safety precautions including eye protection. Never point the ray gun at any living thing, and always make sure to have proper supervision.

This tutorial simply gives basic instructions for a way to build the pistol but does not go into great detail on how it will work.
Before you begin this project, it is advised that you first watch this brief instructional video covering the bare basics:
