CIA Poison Dart Gun: How the Undetectable Heart Attack Weapon Actually Worked


Listen Later

What if the CIA had a gun that could kill someone and make it look like a natural heart attack? In 1975, Daniel Torres reveals, Congress discovered exactly that weapon - and it's way scarier than anything you've seen in spy movies.
On Proof Positive, we break down the CIA's most terrifying Cold War creation: a silent dart gun that fired frozen poison darts up to 100 meters with deadly accuracy. You'll learn how this undetectable weapon actually worked, why the poison dart froze at -100 degrees and melted within 10 seconds of impact, and how millions of shocked Americans watched Congress expose this assassination program on live TV. Daniel walks through the weapon's development in the early 1960s and what it reveals about just how far intelligence agencies were willing to go during the Cold War.
