I'm sorry, but I find most of this entire discussion hilarious. Red
point lasers are not intended to *illuminate* a target, if you mean by
that lighting it up. They are to tell you if you are pointing at your
human target, and not to the left or right of or above your target.

It just dawned on me what you were saying here. I am used to the term "
to illuminate" with regard to a laser to be target designation, not "to
illuminate" in the sense of putting light on something so it can be
seen, such as with a flashlight.

Obviously the laser installed on handguns don't light something up so you
can see it. They just put a spot on where you are aiming.

Illuminate to me means light up - as in United Illuminating Company of
Connecticut
