to lock a guillotine properly it must be done with a full guard, otherwise it’s usually possible to escape, if the fighter is willing to endure the pain and the has the energy and motivation needed. submitting to such an open choke usually doesn’t happen at the top levels.
its not a regular guillotine though, its a variation called the ten finger gullotine in which the fighter uses his hands to choke, not the forearm. the pressure is created by exerting force on the back of the neck and pulling up with your hands. its very painful
