1880年,阿布杜爾·拉赫曼汗成为阿富汗的埃米尔,他很快就因为他的残暴和强硬统治而获得了“鋼鐵埃米尔”(the iron emir)的绰号。有消息估计,在他执政的20年间,平均每年有5000人被处决,其中一些人被炮决。[60]例如,仅在1889年12月就有24人被记录炮决,还有许多人被以其它方式处决。[61]
在乔治·麦克唐纳·弗莱泽(英语:George MacDonald Fraser)以印度民族起义为背景的小说《Flashman in the Great Game》中,一个冒充印度人的英国军官哈里·弗莱西曼(Harry Flashman)在英国人对詹西王后营地的袭击中昏了过去并被俘虏。弗莱西曼被当作反叛分子,醒来时发现被塞住嘴绑在大炮口上。他勉强逃过了死刑,并释放了要和他一起被处决的叛乱分子。对于一个通常被描绘成说谎者、恶霸和无赖的角色来说,这是一种不同寻常的人道行为。
^"It is a curious fact, and well attested by many persons present, that a number of kites (a bird of prey very common in India) actually accompanied the melancholy party in their progress to the place of execution, as if they knew what was going on, and then kept hovering over the guns from which the culprits were to be blown away, flapping their wings, and shrieking, as if in anticipation of their bloody feast, till the fatal flash, which scattered the fragments of bodies in the air; when, pouncing on their prey, they positively caught in their talons many pieces of the quivering flesh before they could reach the ground! At sight of this the native troops employed on this duty, together with the crowd which had assembled to witness the execution, set up a yell of horror".. The description is from the execution of those found guilty in the Vellore Mutiny in 1806, Blakiston (1829), p. 309 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆).
^In an 1845 Herat case: "It was a scene that I shall never forget—a horrid spectacle, and touched me to the very heart. The broken limbs of the unfortunate man were scattered in all directions, while his bowels, which had not been thrown to so great a distance, were in an instant devoured by the dogs that were loitering about the spot." Ferrier (1856), p. 189 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆).

In his letter dated 18 September to the East India Company, however, Monro says 25, detailing where they were sent for execution, Long (1869), p. 397–398 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆).
^Grey, Garrett (1996), p. 216 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆). However, a case from 1784 in the cantonment at Arcot says that a mutiny over reduced pay broke out in October among European troops, and that one active serjeant was condemned to be blown from a gun. Baldwin (1785), p. 390 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆).
^See, for example, remark by colonel Mylne, Russell (1859), p. 45 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆)
^In a letter dated 30 August 1857, received by William Muir working as an intelligence officer, the persons were Mr. Bridges (an indigo planter), his wife, his mother-in-law and their daughter Mrs. Eckford. Muir, Coldstream (1902), p. 501.
^In this case, however, the viceroy of India, Richard Bourke, earl of Mayo, disowned the action of Mr. Cowan, who presided over the first 49 executions and dismissed that officer responsible for the mass execution. Knight (2012), p. 13 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆). However, this was on basis of a procedural point concerning how the trial under Cowan had been held; Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Cowan's hierarchical superior, also blew the last 16 from guns, some time thereafter, but according to requirements of "fair trial". Singh (1995), p. 503–507 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆).
^According to the same source, this punishment was only inflicted in cases of rebellion, otherwise, deportation was the most severe punishment Thoman (1869), p. 111 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆)

^Apart from blowing from guns, the source mention as well that people could be bayoneted to death, hanged, crucified, disemboweled, sawn in two, hanged or dragged to death behind horses. Akbarzadeh, Macqueen (2008), p. 93 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆). Lord Curzon, visiting Kabul in 1894, narrates the following chilling story about a rapist: "One official who had outraged a woman was stripped naked and placed in a hole dug for the purpose on the top of a high hill outside Kabul. It was in mid-winter; and water was then poured upon him until he was converted into an icicle and frozen alive. As the Amir sardonically remarked, “He would never be too hot again.”" Edwards (1996), p. 111 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆).
