A gauge break is pretty much that. It divides/breaks the health gauge into sections, and it also stuns the enemy when you break the gauge, thus making them lose a turn.
Excuse my photoshop skills; I'm using a laptop. Now look at the health bar. This is what it looks like after a gauge break; the health is divided into two sections. Depleting a gauge past one of it's crack points restores one of your hero points, the same way it would had if you killed the enemy outright. So basically they give you more chances of restoring a hero point which is helpful when facing stronger enemies. Handguns can only cause the gauge break, as far as I know.
This is after a second gauge break.
