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
there is always the African method tying someone down near a anthill and slather his B*lls with honey.
