Firing squad is the way to go. Lots of bullets ensures a quick death (aim problems would require a squad size of 1 to be a problem).

Supposedly so the shooters don't feel as guilty but that's absurd, any rational person would feel guilty pulling the trigger and simply assuming they're the killer.
  
  Just have the cops pull the trigger. They have no morals, and would not feel guilty. ACAB
  
  They're not really supposed to enjoy it though and I'm not super into someone being super into murdering someone.
  
  And people should not be trying to turn the world upside down when they're called weird, but here we are.
  
  Pretty sure there's more than 1
  
  Depends honestly but I think Tennessee is a single live and four blanks if human, if not then all live.
  In some places and honestly more commonly it's the reverse 4 live 1 blank or wax.
  It's a weird regional tradition thing somewhat like how a French gallow is different in construction than a Utah gallow or a Georgian gallow for that matter.
- the firing squad is still designed for the comfort of the observers. otherwise, they'd be shooting them in the head
