    Recently, I found out about about PLP (purple laser phenomenon) And so I though, how wonderful it would be to utilize some of my best optoelectronic equipment on this phenomenon! So I took a regular laser, and, with some inspiration from Dragonfree97, blended it with my own coloring unit, and got this:

    A very powerful laser that cuts and looks awesome at the same time? SWEET!

    Coming soon...

    Laser heat transfer system (LHTS for short), optoelectronic cables, and a laser ignited nitroglycerin engine!

    Hint: (Watch in fire view)

    Then, it looks purple.

    And also, purple appears to be the only color missing from the FILT spectra.

    Green is for radiation or x-rays

    Yeah, I know it's pink-ish, but it's close enough. BTW, I just updated it to be slightly more powerful and a whole bunch more compact.

    Oh, and I wasn't the one to coin the term "Gamma Ray Laser." Some people over on the help forum posted because they didn't know how to make a purple laser. One person built one, however it was only for show and did not cut, so I made my own version. Since most people have seen a purple laser under the name "Gamma Ray Laser," I used it too.
