The laser spot from a 1W laser is bright enough to cause rapid, permanent eye damage. The beam will be bright, too. This is not subtle.
During the day its pretty hard to spot a 1W laser and its harder to spot the source. Also, one wouldnt use his with people closeby, or would you shoot a paintball gun out in public when there are people around?
