    A laser strong enough to disable it is certainly portable.

    If you’re talking about vaporizing it, then maybe.

      To get a guaranteed kill you’d probably need a dozen watts. I don’t know of any laser pointers with that amount of power. 5W is doable but wouldn’t guarantee a kill.

      Edit: nevermind, found some blue laser pointers with that kind of output. Even a 25W pointer. I haven’t looked at laser pointers in over a decade so I was expecting much lower values. Guess I should’ve looked them up first.
