Killing others is?

The psychology of people on a firing squad is a real problem. To address this in real life, usually there is a "blank" round randomly placed into one of the guns. This tiny probability helps them, because they can tell themselves that maybe they didn't really participate in the killing. But they all have to fire at once, otherwise whoever fires first will be more worried that they fired the killing shot.
