??? The spec sheet on both of those lists that they use a Class I infrared laser for ranging. The Banner DOES use a Class II for sighting, but it's turned on/off manually, so I'm pretty sure it'd be legal as well.
Class I visible lasers are rare because what on earth is the point? They're barely naked eye visible under normal lighting conditions, so there's not much use for them. If a person can't see the laser anyways, may as well make it infrared so it's cheaper and the interfacing optics are more standardized.
