👉 The Xerox Weapon, also known as the Xerox 8000 or Xerox Optical Weapon System (OWS), was an experimental military weapon developed by the Xerox Corporation in the 1970s. It utilized a high-powered laser to cut through and destroy targets, including vehicles and structures, by vaporizing the material. The system was designed to be mounted on a truck or other vehicle and could fire multiple laser beams simultaneously, making it a formidable weapon for reconnaissance and combat applications. However, due to its experimental nature, the Xerox Weapon never saw widespread use and was largely abandoned as military technology evolved.
