[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3150880, member: 5412"] Gary Gillmore in Utah selected the firing squad instead of hanging. He had the option. If I remember right, it was 30-30 rifles that were pre aimed and the riflemen only had to pull the trigger. One was a blank and no one knew which one it was because they couldn't feel the recoil. In the military manual that Dave70968 mentioned it was one to three blanks for the firing squad. Anyone familiar with firing blanks knows there is no recoil, so I don't understand why they even did that for shoulder fired weapons. In Gilmore's case, nobody got to feel recoil because the guns were mounted. [/QUOTE]
