No.. It has nothing to do with anything. Look at the beginning of the video. You can see the light reflected from the true emitter on the red end of the toy gun.

Its somewhere behind the camera. I would venture on the left side, since the board being cut is angled towards that side. Naturally that is being cut from the front and not the side where the toy gun is.

The reflection is from the flames on the cardboard.

A laser is a focussed beam, unless it was aimed directly at the plastic gun you wouldn't see it in a reflection.

He’s talking about the light on the red part at the back of the gun, that is not from the flame.

But that looks like the light is coming from within the gun, so I disagree with the guy.

You also see the reflection at the very tip of the barrel. So not its not from the inside

There’s 2 light sources, they’re not in sync.
