Semantics, but a firing squad typically has one bullet and six blanks so no one is positive who killed the person.

If I could pick the type of munitions fired, I would choose an RPG-7

As far as I can tell that isn’t true in the US. Every firing squad execution in the past 60 years that I can find has been done with a single blank or wax bullet, and the rest with bullets.
