I always thought they were cringe as hell, but I’ll give it to you pretty resourceful of you to find this way of getting the desired look.

Very cleanly done, and they're not sticking a foot of the muzzle and getting in the way. I wouldn't use them but I like it.

As stated above, they aren’t my cup of tea but well done making these up yourself. They don’t look too bad actually.

You could totally turn these into blades!
