Why was it necessary that Nick and his brother had to be bludgeoned. Would it have been easier to just shoot them?

Easier, yes. But they wanted to make him suffer.

It's based on a true life even Nick was based on Anthony Spilotro and his brother,the original story went that him and his brother were savagely beating in an Indiana cornfield. In 2007 however, it came out the brothers were killed in a Bensenville, Illinois basement where the Spilotros believed Michael (Tony's brother) would be inducted into The Outfit. According to court testimony, when Tony entered the basement and realized what was about to occur, he asked if he could "say a prayer". The bodies were then buried in a corn field.

It was about sending a message. The violence and brutality was the message, not just the killing.
So many stories, so little time.

It was so fun to see Frank Vincent get his revenge on Pesci in round 3 of their cinematic battles.
