There are GREEN lasers available for $500 which can actually burn and cut through dark, non-reflective plastic/rubber surfaces. The only problem is, they take a long time of focus on a single spot to be effective.
Personally, I'd use the lasers to blind people in a home defence role, but, its so much more effective to develop .177 CO2 pistol turrets for your home mounted to a video camera and a servo actuated swivel.
I'd actually done on e of these home defense systems before (just to see if I could) to stop squirrels from getting in my roof. It was very simple actually: a photo electric eye connected to a model rocket kit, connected to an electric bb gun. Squirrels never knew what hit em! I'm still picking up bodies !
