Answer: The answer is Deer Gun. The single-shot Deer gun was intended for distribution to South Vietnamese guerrillas as a weapon against North Vietnamese soldiers. One production run of 1,000 Deer guns was made in 1964 as an initial run, with the final cost projected as US$3.95 per gun. Rather than the Vietnam war being a small clandestine war, it became a full scale war where the Deer gun would not be as useful as foreseen. Some Deer guns were evaluated in Vietnam, but the fate of the rest is unknown.

nada prouty druze quiz
Answer: It's Nada Prouty indeed. A Druze by faith, she migrated to the USA and after a sham marriage, became a US citizen. Subsequently, she joined FBI and CIA. She was involved in high-profile investigations and special-ops in Iraq and the middle-East for CIA. Ultimately, her sham marriage caught up with her and she was removed from the CIA. About her experiences, she has written a book titled, "Uncompromised: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of an Arab-American Patriot in the CIA". Some right-wing US authors have used the term "Jihad Jane" to describe her, which, as usual, only shows their absolute lack of knowledge about anything, which is outside the American shore!
