👉 The oxygen weapon, also known as liquid oxygen (LOX) or liquid oxygen-air mixture, is a chemical weapon that releases a dense cloud of pure oxygen when ignited. When exposed to the high temperatures generated by an explosion or a direct flame, the oxygen rapidly combusts, creating a superheated, high-pressure jet of oxygen that can cause severe burns and suffocation. This weapon is particularly dangerous because it can incapacitate or kill people within a very small area, often without leaving visible debris. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to overwhelm the victim's respiratory system and cause immediate, lethal damage.
