Many dont realise this - in a firing squad only a few guys have live ammo, the rest are blanks. This is so that no one soldier knows for certain if he was the one responsible (and probably so that they actually aim for the victim).
100% agree with your sentiment.
- emiliobumachar 8y agoI never even held a gun, but, is the lack of recoil not obvious?
- jabl 8y agoYes, and no. If you fire a live round, and immediately after a blank (or vice versa) from the same gun, the difference is very easy to notice. But if there's more time between, or if you're not very familiar with the gun, it's more difficult. And, if you're standing there tasked with killing another person, an objective analysis of the recoil is perhaps easier said than done. In the end, I think it's more about plausible deniability on a psychological level than something you couldn't figure out if you wanted to.
- jabl 8y agoFrom what I've read, it's usually one person that has a blank, all others have live.
