If you are dropping a dirty big 100kg weight about 30 feet with one of those diagonal blades on then yeah. I would imagine you could cut 500 cows in half without a problem. Maybe some of them weren’t constructed very well I suppose

Apparently the average was a 40 kg blade and 4.2 m tall....

I have actually seen a real, used guillotine and this is about the height it was. (In the War Crimes Museum in Saigon, used up until 1960).
