Firing Squad - History's Most BRUTAL Execution Method?

Throughout the centuries and History, there have been many execution methods used. But one of the most common was the firing squad, in which a detachment of soldiers would be used to shoot a victim or a condemned person. Firing squads would be made up of different numbers, and often being shot by a firing squad did go wrong. Officers would have to use a coup de grace to end the suffering, and the executions would usually take place in pits or in firing ranges.

Some victims of the firing squad would be shot in the back and this was considered shameful, but it was an execution method heavily linked to the military and the army. Soldiers who were executed in this way considered being shot by a firing squad as noble and as a much more honourable way to go rather than the gallows.
