Shooting at stuff with a CO2 Laser

My company makes pulsed CO2 laser systems. They have a peak power output of 5000000 watts. So we thought it would be fun to shoot at stuff with the laser and upload the video to Youtube... Unfortunately in this case... We didn't plan at all, and failed to set up a spot focus to concentrate the energy and get the ball to explode.

Anyhow. Here is the video.
