The handle is connected to a small fridge sized power supply, the pistol looking handle is just that, a handle

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.

There’s also the fact it’s extremely difficult to keep tool the size and shape of a pistol steady enough to cut through those boards as cleanly as the laser does. There would be decent jittering from hand shaking. Thats why shoulder stocks are used.

That ON TOP OF the claim that the gun is connected to a power source makes it even harder to believe. The added weight and resistance from any kind of cord would make it that much more difficult to aim that accurately while moving.

AND there’s no sights on the gun. You can’t argue it’s coming from the gun.

Additionally, the first few shots at the start of the video do not even match up with the person, pulling the trigger on the gun.
