if you left it in one place for long enough - this "long enough" is as close to "instantly" as the weapon's temperature is close to absolute zero. The ice on the blade would actually be frozen air, not just the water vapour.

(I also don't really get how your liquid oxygen would give you explosives, that might need a bit of elaboration.) | |
