Yeah in real life red lasers only appear as a red dot on the target. There is no beam and they aren't very useful in daytime or well lit areas. Green lasers on the other hand are much more visible than red in every situation and you can see the beam. Also military has lasers that are infrared only and need nightvision to see.
In the year 2023 I believe there will be helmets that will be able to identify and mark threats very similar to the nanosuit visor. I believe its in development now.
