I mean, firing squad can also go wrong if someone has terrible aim. I read somewhere (not 100% sure of Verity) that firing squads often have only one real bullet and the rest are blanks so the people shooting can feel better and tell themselves they had the blank and wasn’t the one to kill a man, so if that one dude with the real bullet misses a kill shot you’re in for a painful time.

Fair point. Maybe I just think the pain of being shot would be less unpleasant than the pain of a botched injection or electrocution.
I think it’s the other way around, most guns loaded for real and one blank. Everyone can still pretend they had the blank
So I guess just make sure you use people who don’t understand basic statistics, otherwise their brain ain’t gonna let them let that one go
Yeah that’s how I’ve always seen it described/depicted
