Drafting,

Bravo for the job, but your edits look cartoonish and unrealistic, especially the first one. I suggest to take a look at guncams such as the famous one here



you'll see explosions and smoke like this one, quite different from yours (and Olegs ...):



Cheers,

Maybe they'd look a little better if there was a transition to the full smoke effect from something like a puffy explosion or a gradual opacity increase?

I've added the original shot at the top along with two photoshopped effects to show what I mean:



...again, sorry to nit-pick and all that. Maybe though, since BoB is still in production, this might be a useful post?
