I often use that phrase a lot, especially since whenever I mess up or sin in any way or otherwise hurt God’s feelings, I feel much better by framing it as me being “deceived by my pride” as opposed to me being deceived by Satan which just sounds way worse. (Honestly, for a show that’s centered around drugs and crime, it had a pretty conservative worldview which makes sense given Vince’s own views. Even though Vince is technically agnostic and therefore not a Christian, he actually believes in the existence of Hell. If you notice, the characters throughout the Breaking Bad series hardly ever get away with doing wrong. Each of them get punished in some way, whether mildly or severely, and must give an account for what they did.)

You can really tell such a difference in his expressions here where he seems to be enjoying himself versus the visible frustration when he is teaching high school grading papers and talking with the student who was trying to BS him into a passing grade. not to mention how despite his many obvious flaws and bad habits Jesse really was eager to learn.

The GG was a 40 ft tall/150 ft long railway gun that took hundreds of people to operate. However thermite grenades were used to disable (much smaller) artillery in WWII.
