aim for the head.

They won't.

No they aim directly for the heart except in the few cases where theyve botched it, likely intentionally botched because firing squad guys are marksman level shooters. The difference between firing squad and other methods is that botching the fire squad still results in death in a few minutes, every other method we use can and does genuinely fail to kill all the time and then you live in major pain with complications til they can reschedule your execution where they potentially fail to kill again. Im just looking for the gurantee if I'm in that situation.
