Execution by firearms


 

Execution by firearms is different than that of execution by firing squad used in the United States. An example would be "single shot from a handgun to the back of the neck" as historically practiced by the People's Republic of China. It has since changed to "single shot from an assault rifle to the back of the head with a hollow point bullet." It usually results in the disintegration of the upper half portion of the head. See Capital punishment in China for further details.

In Thailand, before lethal injection was adopted in the 21st century, execution was carried out by a single executioner firing a mounted Heckler & Koch MP5, which fires in 3 round bursts aiming at the heart of the condemned prisoner.
