ouch yeah figured it'd be something like that, and I really was hoping it could be done with some cheap off-the-shelf common rating pre-built stuff (which would introduce a whole other level of shenanigans with the super cheap stuff to my understanding having pretty variable output; at which point, the accuracy of your rangefinder will become irrelevant). I'll just stick with ol' reliable I guess
also the wall's much less than 1/8 away, I'm not looking to shoot crap out of the air, just fry it while it is standing on surfaces instead of having to smack it with a rolled up magazine when further away, or grab it with a piece of paper to crus when closer. which I suppose would make the overall tolerances much much much tighter, which destroys any chances of it being a cheap DIY
not what I was hoping to hear, but good to know before wasting a few hundred bucks to make something that'll stain the drywall paint or burn the wood floors or curtains
