I am not being negative but how is the diamond supposed
to "shine" when the light is coming from the Muzzle end
of the gun ?
I believe from using them before that not enough of the diamond is stocking out to catch light in low light conditions.
You make a good point concerning back lighting conditions. You would have a similar problem with a platinum or ivory bead as well.
It is certainly possible to mount the stone in a shallower setting. It would also be possible to use a tubular mounting that would allow backlight to illuminate the stone from the back side (pavilion).
