Pick a CoG with the lowest strength you can find. We're talking unquestionably weak to very weak here. Give the CoG a wooden xbow and no ammo to try and slightly minimize the damage done. Cotton Candy war hammer preferred.
Actually, give them ammo, because there is zero chance that the CoG will use the Crossbow as a ranged weapon in administration of great justice.
Also, the only person who "executes" a dwarf is the Hammerer, and this is "unintentional" as Dwarves aren't fond of the Death Penalty. That being said, dwarves seem to have not yet figured out that Dwarf skull + hammer + high velocity = dwarf skull in dwarf brain.
The Captain of the Guard and lawdwarfs merely administer beatings to wayward dwarves. These beatings are done either with their hands, or whatever weapon they have equipped. Don't think they use the edge of edged weapons (not sure of this) but they use the crossbow as a club regardless of whether they have ammo or not. In fact, its good to make your lawdwarfs your Marksdwarf squad because being equipped with lightweight wooden crossbows (and good metal bolts) will not decrease their ability to mine goblinite.
