So I guess it may be technically possible as well. Title: Re: Laser shooting umbrella !! Post by: u9y42 on December 12, 2014, 08:07:34 PM It's a scam.

The Back to the Future style one? :) That one has several limitations the one in the movies didn't, but it sort of works - but how is it related to the laser shooting umbrella, considering it works in a very different way? Anyway, it seems the indiegogo page for this has been removed. |
