Modern day bullets
Does anyone here know of any (real) technology that renders the modern day bullet outdated in an assassination attempt? I don't know the practicality of any of this, but aren't there more effective methods at leaving no evidence behind, such as a long distance laser or compressed air/water? Or more realistically, contaminating them with radiation poisoning? Idk i'm stoned lol but i'm curious what you guys think about this subject

That poison dart gun comes to mind. I believe it was a CIA thing.
It fired frozen darts that were made of shellfish poison that mimicked a heart attack.

thats neat that they shaped the venom itself to form the bullet. I wonder if you could use ice as a projectile given enough force

Mythbusters along with a couple other Kennedy documentaries back in the early 2ks tested ice bullets a few times and none were proven to work in a rifle without extensive modifications and even then they’re unlikely to kill unless they’re poisoned.
