Look up Tyndall effect. This is what make the light visible when not straight on. I prefer a tactical light on my Glock 45 and it has a strobe feature which can be very disorienting when aimed at someone. The problem with a laser is that it doesn't illuminate the target, only shows where the bullet will hit. I want to know what I am shooting at. They make combo tactical light-lasers too. I have a Streamlight and those things are amazing and blinding. Strobe that at someone and I think that will have more effect than a laser and you can make sure that it really is a BG and not your daughter's boyfriend.
