Alot of people can't seem to be bothered to make good sprites anymore. Look at the exploding pebble.
Though that is kinda fun. Anyway, it's simple to make sprites without really trying. This-
Is the sprite I use instead of the barrel sprite that came with the barrel. I used bits from the brain case sprite, bits from the long cannon. And that was it. That was it. I'm helping Jaybud4 make sprites for the imploder rifle, It's just a load of bits from the long cannon flipped around, moved around, and edited very slightly, yet it looks like a new gun. Let's look at how.
Well, we want some kind of pistol, but instead of using the pistol sprites as a base, lets go for something a little different. Like.. The cannon gib.

Now, we need a handle for a pistol. So, lets look in the AK-47 folder.
We see that the handle is not the right color, so instead we look at the SMG.
It's perfect. We'll take the handle of the SMG and put it onto the pistol sprite we agreed on.

Good. Now we need to get rid of that little line and add some kind of back. I'm just going to add on some pixels.

A few added pixels, a few removed pixels, and the handle of an SMG and now a cannon gib is some kind of pistol... A really big pistol, but a pistol all the same. Let's shorten it.

And there you go! From CannongibA to pistol.
Spriting is easy. Just try it.
NOTE: If anyone wants it, the pistol sprite is up for grabs.
