The Mutiny is a little ‘off topic’ for this forum. It was characterised by tremendous viciousness, including on civilians and soldier’s dependents. It was this that sparked the use of artillery for executions. Technically, it was no less swift than firing squad. The real deterrence is that it denied the mutineer a body for funeral rites.
