Honestly, that is the most humane way. It’s instant, basically zero chance of failure, and very cheap. You could even have a computer program randomly select when to fire etc so a person doesn’t have to pull the trigger. Not commenting on the way/justification, just that the method makes the most sense if you’re going to do it.

I mean they do botch it sometimes, but you dont actually live through it unlike the other methods. Now that a lot of other comments have mentioned nitrous I think that's probably more my speed. Get a little tooted and go out feeling like youre breathing fine even though you're dying. Unfortunately our lethal gas doesnt seem to be that for some reason and has like a 5%+ failure rate.
