Why One Shooter Gets A Blank Round 😧

When a firing squad shoots a prisoner, one of the bullets actually isn't real. You see, one of the rifles is loaded with a blank, but it still fires and kicks back when the trigger is pulled. The soldiers aren't told which rifle it is, casting doubt on who actually shot and killed the man. This way, the

soldiers can feel less guilty and sleep at night knowing there was a chance that they weren't the one to kill him.
