The death penalty, known formally as capital punishment, is one of the highest sentences laws and states can give out to offenders and criminals, as a form of punishment, and to halt political dissent. The use of its name on the gun variety of weapons in Final Fantasy also likely refers to the use of fusillading, or firing squads to execute the sentence, in addition to referring to weaponry powerful enough to perform such a task.
