researchers under
Dr. Nathan Gordon, a CIA chemist, mixed shellfish toxin with water and froze the mixture into a small pellet or dart. The finished projectile would be fired from a modified Colt M1911 pistol equipped with an electrical firing mechanism. It had an effective range of 100 meters and was virtually noiseless when fired.
When fired into a target, the frozen dart would immediately melt and release its poisonous payload into the victim’s bloodstream. Shellfish toxins, which are known to completely shut down the cardiovascular system in concentrated doses, would spread to the victim’s heart, mimicking a heart attack and causing death within minutes."
They were not fucking around.
You guys believe nonsene bullshit CIA crap too much.
You really think they could noiselessly fire a projectile? Give me a fucking break. This isn't Hollywood where a pillow suddenly makes a gun almost totally silent.
And yeah, if you think the frozen dart would function like that I don't know what else to say. How are you gonna keep it frozen? In the 70s and before? You think an apparatus that would keep it frozen would be inconspicuous?
You guys are as deluded as the conspiracy nutters.
We also know that the CIA just claims this shit is real but most of this type of stuff never worked and if you think about it you'd realize why it wouldn't work, but people want to believe so strongly.
Who said powder explosion drove the projectile? Compressed gas anyone? Like the CO2 carts for pellet guns today? Maybe compressed nitrogen or the like.
It literally says it was fired by an electrical mechanism (so they essentially seem to be claiming this is a railgun, which would not be silent, plus uh yeah pretty sure not feasible with the technology of the time). There's no projectile that you can fire out of a gun at such velocity that it could achieve the claims made about this, that would make it silent, so even if it used CO2 it still wouldn't be silent.
Plus, its a fucking gun, and this one has a giant fucking scope on it, sorry that's not inconspicuous (yeah I'm sure someone looking through a scope while holding a pistol would be super inconspicuous) and especially if you have to be within 100m (hell point blank would make much more sense), and a frozen dart would not survive being fired like that, so there would have to be an actual dart that would also leave evidence.
This is not a real thing. You guys are getting duped by one of the most well known full of shit organizations in the history of the world. Seriously, look up all their little gadgets, very very few of them worked, it was all just a dog and pony show of bullshit and its laughable if you actually think about it.
