Aye, a meat cleaver won't do it.... unless you're planning on making the execution exceptionally painful. You want to be able to disconnect the nervous system in one blow -- that also means slicing between the vertebrae because even a large axe or dao will bounce off one of those.
Ah, medieval studies..... :P
And often.. execution by shooting is done in most countries by a group with heavy hunting rifles and aimed at the heart. One of the group is issued a blank (for traditional reasons). The internal shock waves in the body from several ultra-high velocity slugs almost always kill instantly (even before the tearing damage takes effect).
Ah, hunting theory... :P
