The Church Committee hearings were a fun show. Trying to get the Director of the CIA to hold an assassination gun didn’t work, as he rightly refused to do so, so a staffer held the gun up near him at his table, to get photos and video of the gun near the guy.
At first, I thought you meant the KGB cyanide gun https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/copyranter/20-cool-kgb-cold-war-devices which was for real used at least twice by a KGB assassin to kill two people. What made it a “heart-attack gun” was that he would meet his victims while they were going up a staircase making it seem that the exertion had brought on a heart attack.
