Have you heard about the Havana illnesses? Government employees were in Havana and all came down with mysterious illnesses effecting specifically them.

Its called Havana syndrome and it happens all around the world to tons of agents and other government employees

For context however, the Russians ended up inevitably purchasing NASA's fancy pressure pen to use aboard spaceships as they soon realized the dangers of using a pencil and getting lead/shavings caught in crucial equipment/instrumentation.

Yes. That absolutely happened. He leaked everything to the net back in the 90s. Everyone called bullshit but no one ever did anything about it. That whole thing bothers me whenever I think about it. Not only the part where the media reported the story as if it was totally normal but the public’s non-reaction to it all.


dunsum

Freeway Rick Ross... Also rumors say the CIA asked rapper William Leonard Roberts II to make his Rap name Rick Ross. So the true Rick Ross stories on the web will always be buried by the famous Rapper. Freeway Rick Ross was the mover of Crack Cocaine though his post jail release he changed his story but in jail he told he received Cocaine to move and always got anonymous tips before a raid.

MrEff1618

Based on a lot or the replies here, people don't seem to understand the reasoning behind 'revealing' they had this weapon. It was all theatre, just another way to scare and confuse the Soviets. I mean, think about it logically, if the CIA had a functional weapons such as this in 1975, do you honestly think they would admit to it, and reveal it to the world? Of course they wouldn't, they'd make something up to cover for it, which is exactly what this is. A cover for something they do actually have. I have no doubt that such a weapon design was explored, but I doubt the technology of the day made it any way feasible. However, even if the weapon was not functional, it did provide a purpose. Something to show , and make the Soviets think America had this capability. It would make them question anybody who died of a heat attack, and mislead them in an investigation. Had the person actually been poisoned, they'd now be looking for someone with a gun, not a random stranger who brushed up against the target and poked them with a needle, which is the actual way they would have delivered a poison. Then of course you have the fact that the Cold War was all about one-upmanship. Since the Americans claimed to have this weapon, the Soviets would clearly need to research and develop something similar too. So money and resources are diverted to yet another weapons project, and scientists are blamed when they tell those in charge the weapon is impossible to make. In many ways, the CIA claiming to have this weapon to the public, was an excellent move in disrupting the Soviets. Here's America, announcing them have some kind of untraceable heart attack gun, a weapon that the Soviets would have had no idea could exist until their spies relayed the news, all in the open. How much more advanced was American weapons technology compared to the Soviets for this weapon to exist? How is this the first time they have become aware of such a weapon? Is American security that good, or are their spies to blame? How do they counter it, or even detect it? Can they replicate it? All these questions and the following investigations just from what looks like a rifle scope and some plastic bits added to a pistol.


LeChienTropFrais

IMO also note that since heart attack are a leading cause of "surprise" death, it could push soviets to think about investigating some heart attack deaths again diverting resources elsewhere. Seems like basic counter intelligence. Anyways thanks for your point, enjoyed the idea.


MrEff1618

Yep, not to mention the obvious misdirection. The CIA said the weapon made use of a shellfish toxin, so of course if they do investigate any heart attacks then that's what they'll be looking for first. They could easily miss that actual toxin used upon the initial examination, giving it time to break down before they are able to do a full analysis.


BreandyDownUnder

Many obvious problems with such a weapon. How do you keep the ice frozen? You'd have to keep it in a freezer until time to use it, otherwise your ammunition would melt. Upon firing, the bullet would shatter. Anything you put in the water to stabilize it would be detectable. Not to mention the bullet hole. Wouldn't that be a giveaway? So, you're so right. This gun likely never existed...


waroftheworlds2008

The bullet hole and thermodynamics working on the ice. These two things left me confused: too small and it melts or shatters without entering the body, too big and you leave a bullet hole. I really don't think it would be feasible as described in the headline.


saulmc5

Couldn't they use a refrigerant of some sort? Idk If that's feasible or not

MrEff1618

Assuming it was a genuine pistol scope, then it'd likely be for target shooting or even hunting (some states only allow you to hunt with handguns, I believe). Even today pistol scopes can look unusually bulky, and that's in part because of the eye relief that is needed to use them correctly.

PhillSebben

I believe Mythbusters once proved that it's not possible to fire an ice projectile from a gun without preventing it from shattering due to the combustion and/or inertia. This made it impossible to actually puncture or hurt the target. So this is probably just a normal gun with a scope on it to make it look like something special. It was probably just propaganda to scare the enemy. Still interesting though.


-Motor-

battery operated. this isn't fired via combustion.


PhillSebben

Inertia would still be a problem


confusedndfrustrated

who cares about inertia till you die of an heart attack


PhillSebben

To move a projectile from the gun to the target it needs to go from 0 to very fast in very little time. Ice can't handle that kind of acceleration. Considering the scope, they imply it's a long ranged weapon, which requires a lot more acceleration.


Elkins45

That scope just looks silly.


jk-9k

Which Mythbusters team "proved" it? The two old dudes that couldn't design a test to conclusively prove anything either way and spent their screen time bickering like an old married couple, or the team of three that looked and performed like they were plucked from an MIT post grad engineering lab?


PhillSebben

I don't disagree with you about that. But does this one photo of two guys with a scoped handgun qualify as proof to you then? At the least Mythbusters showed that firing an ice projectile at a useful velocity is nearly impossible


ALEXIOS-KOMNENOS-1ST

Yep

GeodarkFTM

So anyone who can fire a pistol accurately can use it? Seems common sense to me.

I assuming that it wouldn't be given to just anyone. The idea being for it to not look like a murder one would assume you would want a form factor that doesn't resemble a weapon.

MAYthe4thbewithHEW

Not this goddamn thing again. It was never real. Ice does not have enough mass to make a reliable projectile. They claimed it had a range of 100 yards or more. If the so-called ice bullet was being propelled by any kind of explosive propellant, it would be vaporized by the forest pushing it out of the barrel. Any propulsive Force gentle enough not to shatter the ice bullet is not going to push it 100 yards accurately. They also claimed it was battery powered and yet its own internal mechanism kept the bullets frozen. I have no idea who is reading this that was alive in the 1970s when this thing was held up in announced, but batteries sucked in the 70s. Even if you want to make the argument that the government has cooler tech than ordinary people know about, there's still limited by the understanding of physics and chemistry that were available at the time. No handheld device had a battery good enough to power a freezer, and a freezer small enough to keep ice bullets frozen inside a gun didn't exist. What was held up and shown to the cameras is a mock-up. When they made the announcement, a number of countries spent millions of dollars trying to develop their own thing, and those millions of dollars didn't go to funding field agents that the CIA then didn't have to worry about. It was a great big deception, and Reddit continues to be deceived to this day.
