In a firing squad, all but one or two rifles are firing blanks so that no single shooter would ever know for certain that it was their bullet, and therefore it wouldn't weigh on their conscience.

These people all wanted in on it.

I was taught that all the rounds are live, except one, so the victim takes multiple shots, but every shooter can convince themselves that they had the blank round, and didn't kill.

Otherwise you take a chance on those one or two shots not being mortal, and having to reload.

You might be correct

You gotta be a monster for that to make any difference for yourself.
