CIA HEART ATTACK GUN · 028

from Archive Vault Podcast Hosted by Archive Vault Network

In the 1970s, during a series of congressional investigations into intelligence agencies, a device was revealed to the public. It was small. Silent. Designed to leave almost no trace. Officials described it as a weapon capable of inducing a heart attack using a tiny projectile—one that could dissolve inside the body. It became known as the Heart Attack Gun. The demonstration raised immediate questions. Who was it intended for? Was it ever used? And how many similar tools existed beyond public knowledge? The device was presented as part of a broader effort to examine covert operations, methods, and capabilities that had remained hidden for years. But the full scope of those programs was never completely disclosed. In this episode of Archive Vault Podcast, we examine the origin of the Heart Attack Gun, the context in which it was revealed, and the unanswered questions that remain. The archive is open. #ArchiveVaultPodcast #CIA #HeartAttackGun #ColdWarSecrets #HiddenWeapons #GovernmentSecrets #Declassified #CovertOperations
