The Mormons have it right on this one. About 1979 (+/-) they did Gary Gilmore in with a firing squad. The Sheriff in Salt Lake City put the word out that he wanted volunteers for that event. Well, on the day of the event, there was a line of volunteers in Salt Lake about a block long, all with their .30 cal rifles and ammo, ready to go. It was over in about 20 minutes, no problems, no lack of supplies to do the job. Painless, since the bullets are moving faster than the speed of sound Gary did not hear a thing. Sure there are the few who will take a shot at this, criticizing. Well, it is a fact, so I prefer not to hear from the opposition and will not respond.

Execution by firing squad - Wikipedia
It is probably more humane than lethal injection in Arkansas right now.
