How is that untraceable? Gee, we found an extremely sophisticated shellfish toxin dart in the victim, must be nothing! What a stupid article

> When fired into a target, the frozen dart would immediately melt and release its poisonous payload into the victim’s bloodstream. Shellfish toxins, which are known to completely shut down the cardiovascular system in concentrated doses, would spread to the victim’s heart, mimicking a heart attack and causing death within minutes.
> All that would be left behind was a tiny red dot where the dart entered the body, undetectable to those who didn’t know to look for it. As the target lay dying, the assassin could escape without notice.
I have no doubt they researched it but I highly doubt it was effective or used.
No, the point blank range of such a weapon would be very short, perhaps not even 20m, and presumably it was meant to be used in public, which would be weird because the gunman would be very conspicuous.
Ah yes, a gun which can send a chunk of ice fully intact 100m yet it will still puncture the victim unnoticeably and immediately melt
So is polonium. It's nonetheless not exactly that difficult to pinpoint if someone just drops dead.
The US establishment, just like any other state engages in propaganda. Like the whole thing about Russia being able to nuke the entire world 1337 times over.
All of these claims need to be taken with a grain of salt.
I think they succeeded awhile ago already with that
