In the case of the above, (Gardner) it was 5 shooters, 25 ft, with a target on his heart. .30 caliber rifle rounds, 4 live rounds, 1 wax.

Assuming the shooters were braced and zeroed, expected deviation would be tiny, maybe if I were cynical, expect a spread of 4 inches?that's really generous at that range, with a good brace and quality rifles.

4 rifle rounds on target for the heart at 25 ft with a deviation no more than 4 inches would be mean instant death, 99.9% of the time. That's pretty damn good compared to hanging or leathal injection, hence my "vote" to get that one.

this relies still on the shooters doing a good job, but yeah fair
