I don't think there is anything wrong with showing gory pictures as long as the discussing is not about the gore. But there should be a good reason for them or, why are they there?
But having said that, how often do we need gory pictures in our discussion anyways? This forum is a lot more dedicated towards the cultural and historical aspects of weapons than the use of and results of using such weapons. There's plenty of machete-wound pictures on Google images if anyone wants to see what happens to a survivor of a machete-fight. Since this forum doesn't discuss fighting with weaponry much, I doubt gory pictures will be a problem. Plus, most of you all here seem pretty gentlemanly and considerate.
And plus, if there is a discussion on the cutting power of say, tulwars, the use of our imagination and historical accounts would be more humane than cutting an animal or human with a tulwar and taking pictures - even if its more conclusive.
