XD It's all meant to be impractical and stupid, they're obviously trying to stuff as many oldskool references into this as possible. The easiest way to recognise it is if you watch all of the older Bond movies.
About the mannequin thing. Think old samurai movies. Blood spurting in all directions when a head or limbs are chopped off. This is carried over into animes and more recent shows coming from Japan. It's kind of the same thing in the way that they're grabbing references from very old movies and shows and putting them into something like this.
Of course, in the end, yeah it is stupid and this anime doesn't interest me at all. But I do understand what they were aiming for with the style of the show whether they seem good or not in terms of our overall taste.
