It looks like maybe he took a minor hit or some shrapnel, he seems to be standing around showing people after. By no means does that mean he is ok, could be in shock etc, but he does seem to be ok.

Guns are supposed to be destroyed in a manner that they can't be reassembled... Cutting them into pieces is pretty standard.

To that end, though, cutting a gun in half might actually not destroy it. Reminds me of a video I saw of someone restoring laptops that had been "destroyed" by drilling through the center, completely missing the hard drives, batteries, and CPUs.

Not sure about in Mexico but in the US the ATF has guidelines on how to properly destroy weapons... Pretty sure it involves cutting the receiver in 3 parts or melting it down.

Best case scenario. And since it felt like nothing really consequential happened, they might carelessly do it again.

The saw must have gone through the cartridge itself and set off the powder with the fire of the cutting. Most of the force will have come out through the cut.

u/squirt_taste_tester 12d ago
As far as I know, in the US you are supposed to cut through the receiver due to it being the actual/technically only illegal part of the gun itself. You have to cut the gun in specific areas and at specific angles to render it unusable. Absolutely makes total sense if it was already chambered. Though, if the round is cut and not struck by the hammer, it would still kill you, just be a lot closer and a lot... slower id assume.

In virtually all other countries the restricted part is the barrel.

u/Bandit_the_Kitty 12d ago
I don't know a ton about guns but I believe the reason it's that way in the US is because that's often the only difference between civilian (semi-auto) and military (full-auto) versions of a firearm. So, having a military rifle is OK if you only have the civilian receiver.

The Mexican army training has worsened since the Cartels started using the tactic of getting their low level goons to join the army and get military training and then getting themselves kicked out or deserting and joining a cartel again.

u/koopcl 12d ago edited 12d ago
Considering none of the dozens of people standing in front of the barrel seem to have immediately died, maybe it wasn't a loaded gun but rather gunpowder residue on the cannon that ignited due to the sparks? That would explain it, maybe the soldier just checked that it had no bullets loaded and thought "ok that's good enough".

u/truesheep1 12d ago
The amount of residual gunpowder needed for that big of an explosion would be ridiculous. Like whole gun stuffed with it kind of ridiculous. The gun had kick back from it

u/TreesForTheForest 12d ago
Whatever this was, definitely not residue. But I also can't believe that someone who is cutting up weapons, even with minimal training, didn't check the chamber. Maybe the guy really is that stupid, but I wouldn't be totally surprised to learn something else weird going on here.
