Magnetizing power armored marine weapons.

I've seen the tutorial here about magnetizing arms, but I am interested in magnetizing the weapons themselves (so the weapon would have a magnet and the top of a marine's fist would have a magnet drilled into it). Basically like this link:

Up there, the marine is holding the bolter with two hands in a classic pose. My question is about holding the gun one handed. Would a 1/16 inch magnet be enough to keep the gun in place if the marine is wielding it one handed?

Those magnets are the exact same size magnets I use for my special weapons: plas/melta/flam ;)

 

To be more accurate, I use N40 grade 1/16" x 1/32"; enough strength to hold the bits one-handed

(I would like to point out that the magnets are flush/touching with each other, the magnetic force between tend to get weak faster per distance with regards to the magnet this small)

Also, 1/16" leaves enough space around the hole/magnet, specially on the weapon

 

Hth :D
