Certain lasers are safe for use, certain others are not. I would not use a manufacturer that I could not hold responsible for their products. But Canadian, American, British, German, etc. There's only one laser you may even "need" in airsoft, and that's for IR to work with NV as a target designation. Also, you cannot risk others safety, unless within reasonable means. No one is running around with a sound device squealing at over 82 decibels close to my head, for long periods of time. Also, what are you deeming reasonably safe, a trained worker in an industrial setting using it as a tool, or a twelve year old with an airsoft gun, running around with his friends? There have been several cases, not just in airsoft, where people have had vision damage due focused lights and lasers. Why are you using a laser? Are you running an NV unit, and have the appropriate beam or emitter to go with it? Or do you just want one because it looks cool, albeit mostly useless in airsoft.
Anyone who has "ever" worked in the safety industry, or knows "anything" about OH&S guidelines, will tell you that "you must follow manufacturer's instructions". You're basic safety standards must meet or exceed all of these to be considered legitimate. Who's at risk, who's your manufacturer, do you know and understand the device you're operating, and are you certain of its safety and the safety of everyone involved? These are questions you need to ask. You find me a manufacturers guide on any laser, and show me where it says "you can shine this in your friends eyes".
