Don't forget that she was firing Crescent Rose every quarter-second or so. So the power of the recoil would also have been driving the weapon deeper.

That said, yeah, the gap in between the blades is a puzzler, unless they angle in to meet at the cutting edge. But even then, it's not enough force to cut through. Because of the design, as soon as you get a few inches in, you've added extra Surface Area to fight against. A blade words by providing the most amount of pressure, to the smallest amount of surface area possible. With Crescent Rose, once you reach a certain depth, it's like trying to cut your arm off with a stick...
