So that's the point of automation. Anybody aiming and firing a gun isn't needed. Loading the bullets and target into the system, and making the system itself, will require humans, but I'd think it would allow the state to do the execution precisely at xx o'clock with only a stay/safety button in case someone changes their mind.Correct me if I'm mistaken but I believe the only purpose of an automated (computerized) firing squad would be to eliminate the moral stigma of having consciously enabled the taking of a life, which I believe in the case of a punitive death penalty would be impossible to do. Because at some point someone would necessarily need to initiate or facilitate the action via some method.It would have to built and programmed, at least.Automated Firing Squads. How would that work? Wouldn't someone need to push a button at some point?I think automated firing squads is the solution. Lethal injection is not sustainable.
Better more than one round for this purpose. Better no marksmen altogether.Hence the five-man firing squad and only one live round.
