Yes, most shooting type executions target the heart, which likely leaves an even linger period of consiousness. As far as I can tell, the reasoning has as much to do with squeamishness as logic. I belueve sone places use a sedative, then a single shot to the back if the neck, but I’m not certain.
Frankly just administering a massive dose of an anesthetic before any of these methods would address the main problem. Then you only have to work out how to administer it without that being a torture of it’s own.

Not much to work out! I’ve been knocked out a few times at the hospital and it was never uncomfortable. The worst part is thinking “I hope I don’t say anything stupid when I’m waking up”
The problem is that medical professionals (rightly) won’t perform executions so it’s left to incompetent people that can’t administer it without causing harm.

Every time, I’ve sang to whoever I’ve woken up next to.
I am not a good singer.
But you bet your ass I can belt out “TAKE ME HOOOOME, COUNTRY ROOOOAD” even through a fading anesthetic haze
