The Heart Attack Gun was developed by the Central Intelligence Agency, with its origins rooted in the Cold War era of the 1950s and 1960s.
During this period, the CIA was intently focused on countering threats and potential assassinations from foreign entities. The device was designed with utmost secrecy to kill individuals by inducing a heart attack while leaving little to no traceable evidence behind.
In terms of its mechanics, the Heart Attack Gun fired a specialized dart made of frozen shellfish toxin. This dart could effectively penetrate both clothing and skin. Once it hit the target, the toxin would be released into the bloodstream, causing a heart attack within minutes.
The toxin would denature rapidly, erasing any tangible evidence of foul play. Adding another layer of stealth, the weapon had an effective range of up to 100 meters and was virtually noiseless upon firing, making it extremely difficult to detect.
The existence of this eerie device came to public light in 1975 during a Senate committee hearing led by Senator Frank Church. Senator Church dramatically revealed the weapon, thus confirming speculations and concerns about the lengths to which intelligence agencies would go for covert operations.
As the heart attack gun is still in use in the present day is still not known to the public, most online users assume the specialized gun may be resting in a museum for tourist purposes.

“No way that could fire 100 meters. That's over a 100 yards. You would need a long range rifle. And 2 what about that dart? Does that disappear?”.
