Description of the incident: Jim Miller, a mess tech, was permabrigged for several violations to marine law. Eventually he was set to be executed.
Kenneth, as CMP, ordered so to happen through Firing Squad, and he selected the M79 as the weapon of choice for this.
I was playing as one of the MPs who took part in the firing squad.
As we got to it, he first said we'd be using Hornet shells, but as we were about to fire, he ordered us to load batons instead.
Given the spirit of the law, even if the letter doesn't say to use L42s, I assumed the intent isn't to nonlethally paincrit a marine, and to that point in character I decided to just walk up to the man and put him out of his misery with a sidearm instead.
As I did so Kenneth ordered to switch to sidearms, then went on to shoot more into him to "make sure".
The whole situation seems off to me, as a combination of unnecessarily cruel method, with an edge-case weapon, so I adminhelped to ask whether that was allowed, and I was answered by Forest2001 that if requested by a CO with fax approval it could be allowed, and to make a player report for staff to look into it.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):
What resolution are you seeking? Clarification on the law, as I can't tell if this is an edge case that's technically allowed or a rule break. This kind of behaviour for CMPs feels off, so if this is not meant to be allowed, a warning of the case to the player.
