I get it. Its an attempt at plausible self-deniability, but all the people that fired know that one (or more of them) could be the killer. For someone that doesn't like killing people, I wouldn't think that's enough.

It doesn't even make sense in my opinion. In my mind, all of them are the killers, no matter whose exact bullet it was, and I don't get how you could convince yourself otherwise.

It also comes from the military, when you're executing one of your own as a traitor. So there's a mitigating factor in there somewhere. Theoretically any given soldier could deliberately miss too, relying on there being at least one other squad member to make a killing shot. I mean, not killing people under any circumstances is better.
