'ZIP ZAP... YOU'RE A DEAD VC'

摘要

Dan Shea got it wrong, Robert Bruce got it wrong, Chris Eger got it wrong, Ian Hogg got it wrong and so did Gary Paul Johnson, Jack Krcma, Dick Meadows, Keith Melton, John Minnery, T. C. Smith, Don Walsh and Yours Truly... until Jonathan Liu of the CIA's office of Public Affairs kindly told me the truth about the mysterious CIA "Deer" Gun, as it has been known since 1962. "This weapon is actually known as the CIA DEnied ARea Pistol, hence DEAR Pistol. It was designed for distribution to foreign fighters willing to operate behind enemy lines," Mr. Lui informed me, sharing with me data from the Agency's own files, including a CIA photograph of their original production DEAR Pistol.
