Ok guys, I need some help.
I don't have access to any magical programs (skyzan), so I got my information from laserpointersafety.com to do the actual calculation.
I love math, and I'm missing something here, I think its the order of operations.
This is for a 1000 mwatt green 532nm laser with an mrand of 1.5
(32.8 / mrand) * (Square root of (12.7 * mwatts * VCF))
(32.8 / 1.5) * (Square root of (12.7*1000*.088016)) = (21.8667) * (Square root of (1117.803)) = 21.8667 * 33.40
= 730.34 <----THIS IS WHAT I GOT.

gets 2,311.9 feet <-- THIS IS WHAT THEY GOT.
HELP!
