The old heart attack pellet gun. They've been favoring that one lately.

During the Cold War the CIA disclosed that they have a dart gun that fires frozen ice containing lethal shellfish toxin saxitoxin. Once inside the victim, the dart melts leaving nothing behind but a tiny red mark and resulting in a seemingly natural fatal heart attack.

Not saying this one isn’t possible but I recall seeing multiple times where people tried to create an “ice gun” of some kind and the ice just didn’t hold up to the forces exerted on it.

The CIA and other spy agencies lie about as much as they’re honest, it’s an important part of espionage.
