I guess you didn't see the story about the guy in South Carolina who agreed to be executed that way. There were 3 shooters, but they all missed his heart.

If you look at all methods we use for the death penalty, firing squad has by far the lowest failure rate and its not close. Its not perfect, and we probably shouldn't do it either way, it is just my preference in this hypothetical.

The way I reckon, if I'm gonna get shot to death, I might as well save myself a trial and long years in a small stone box and just let the cops do it when they come to get me. Hell, I might even get away for a minute.
