2) I wouldn't say that Mercury's shots are particularly powerful, even if at point-blank.

3) Ruby running into his leg (at super speed mind you) and then immediately getting kicked away was probably worse.

4) They were considering showing a wall splattered with his blood too.

5) Apparently, most members of the WF in Vale had their Auras unlocked, otherwise we would have seen a lot of blood.

6) Edit: When was it said that Aura gets stronger with training, and its weak if untrained? 1) He does nothing but kick. I don't recall him kicking people literally in the head though, besides Tukson.

2) Bullshit. Do you have even a remote idea of how much damage a shot, even from a "weak" gun, can do to a person at point-blank? Especially if they are shot in the face?

3) Ruby was trained by motherfucking QROW, she wasn't just a simple person with Aura unlocked, she was a prodigy. And she did not get shot in the face. It makes sense that, as damaging and painful as it could've been, it was far less than it was for Tukson.

4) Wouldn't that be proof that his Aura was not unlocked?

5) Or we would have not, because, Doyllistically, before V3 RT was fully set on making RWBY "E-3+". We didn't see blood because kids can't. As much as their asses got kicked, no blood and no gore.

Remember: It is a work, in the end, and some things are not like they should be for out-of-universe reasons.

6) I don't recall exactly when/if it was said, but we do have Jaune as proof.

He has a "lot" of Aura according to 4-times-champ Pyrrha Nikos. Yet he still showed bruises and all after some punches by Cardin back in V1, and do note his Aura was not dropped down to 0.

So even if you got lots of Aura, if it's untrained, it's hardly any better.
