Back to the point... Ben, do you know if this thing can fuse nylon? I hate swapping the point on my soldering iron for the hot knife, and a match leaves a ragged fuse on webbing. If this would zip though nylon and poly web, and paracord, it would be on my "someday" list.

Also, any idea how big the point is at, say, a half mile? Might make an interesting illuminator. I know that when the Marines when into Somalia the second time, to get the UN out, they had something like this but bigger and maybe not as powerful, as a long range illuminator.
