I think North Korea has an interesting way to assemble a firing squad.
“North Korea’s purge of senior officials who are deemed a threat to Kim Jong-un’s leadership of the country has continued with the public executions of two senior officials, according to South Korean media, possibly to generate fear among members of the elite after recent high-level defections.
The conservative daily, the JoongAng Ilbo, reported on Tuesday that Hwang Min, a former agriculture minister, and Ri Yong-jin, a senior official at the education ministry, were executed by anti-aircraft gun at a military academy in Pyongyang earlier this month.”

Cost of lumber. Toss them off a bridge.
Personally, I think executions should be done with BBS so you can dig them out and use them for the next guy. If some convict is going to spend years sucking up taxes, let the death take a while as you keep hitting him in the head with a Daisy 880 until he’s dead. If you do it enough it isn’t unusual.

How about firing them into a stone formation from a big cannon? Not for a man of my caliber, however. Jack.
A bunch of those guys missed, some by quite a bit. Probably intentionally.
The blank round thing has always made me wonder. It's not necessary to actually load a blank; you just have to tell the shooters you are. And then not let them eject the round.

I never felt an m1 had that much recoil to be honest.
Tool my son's friend to the range a couple years ago. He was 19. Let him shoot a Henry 357 rifle and the kid looked like he was in shock......said holy cow that think kicks.

Send the bill to the family
He killed a store clerk during a robbery, not "another lowlife." The clerk pulled out a gun and the condemned wrestled it away and killed him with it.
The South Carolina firing squad will be selected from among "qualified SC Corrections Department members." They might or might not be actual Corrections Officers. I think they are being purposefully vague.

Me either. Recoil sensitivity is 90% mental...I never felt an m1 had that much recoil to be honest.

I stand corrected. Yes, could be on the squad.

Pick 3 grunts just out of basic training at Fort Jackson. Each gets a NGSW candidate weapon -- one from Sig, one from Textron, and one from General Dynamics. One shot each aimed at the heart from 50 meters.
Most lethal shot wins the contract. If the murderer survives, the NGSW program is scrapped.
Like the scene from Schindler's List?
