Just gonna put my opinion in: "If it is simple, cool, and effective it has my vote"
Your highly detailed things just don't do it for me, sorry. I would rather have a rectangle with a handle that makes the server easier to use than a cool looking gun being held by someone killing me where as I don't get enough of a chance to see it anyway.
Some things aren't meant to be noticeable. For example, some weapons are so 'big and cool' they block the view. Harder to use it that case.
