👉 The Macintosh Weapon, also known as the "Macintosh Gun," was a handheld device designed for law enforcement and military use, particularly by the FBI. It was a compact, portable laser weapon that combined a laser pointer with a targeting system, allowing users to aim and fire precise beams of light at targets. The Weapon featured a laser beam that could penetrate clothing and other materials, making it effective for surveillance and non-lethal deterrence. It was controlled by a joystick and had an infrared sight for aiming, with the ability to store multiple targets. Despite its innovative design, the Macintosh Weapon faced significant criticism for its unreliability and lack of accuracy in real-world scenarios, leading to its limited adoption and eventual discontinuation.
