They do, but $50.00. Wonder if there’s anywhere locally that sells them for 15 bucks.

Reading a few articles similar to this online it seems that you will basically kill the laser by doing this. No definite numbers but it won’t last long and eats batteries like crazy.

Despite that, I am still getting one.
