If it were .22's the press would still describe them as "powerful".
The five anonymous riflemen, all state law enforcement officers, will stand behind a brick wall with a gunport. They will aim at the target on Gardner's heart from about 25 feet away. Four of the five rifles will be loaded with live rounds. The weapon with the blank round is unknown.
I think the guy with the blanks will know, as will the others, after practicing for the main event.
