Sure, the common sense always help.
The general sprite its decent but need details for realism, like one scope, magazine and grip.
Also a bit more contrast with shading can make it look better...

Naxx, the problem with your shading is that it makes everything appear circular towards the viewer and it's no clear lightsource.
Just sayin.
Other than that the shape you made it into is nice.

Well, I believe that's true, after re-watching it I notice, I made it pretty circular...

Explain this better, I believe the light-source in that sprite its up-right of the rifle.
Anyway this is half true, I sacrifice the lighting in the gun to give more contrast and
"explain" the details of the gun better, it happened me into past...

The thing is, with something like a gun, it's flat, aswell as having light bounced onto it from a lot of different directions.
if you hold a light up against a wall, the light bounces off and lights up other walls than just the one you point it at.

Oh and, contrast is nice, but it's created by light colors hitting dark colors, not gradients. A 'sharp' looking gun is always more readable than a 'soft' looking one.
Readability should be concern number one. Too much contrast between highlights and shadows cause confusion to the eyes, making them unable to focus upon a point.

It's not perfect but I didn't spend that a long time on it.

Btw Cmdr 5ir, next time you take something from the sprite dump and post it in this thread, it'd be nice if yousaid where you got it from.
Even if it's free of charge doesn't mean you should claim that you made it.

Lizard, you are just amazing.
That's like a million times more awesome than the starting sprite or NaXx's sprite.

ok i am actually having trouble with these guns. The bottom gun i can't really figure out what i want to do with the less-white spot, and the top gun is just giving me general shading troubles.

here is another stage of it's creation:

@Naxete, i liked yours, but i needed to make a few changes.

@Lizard, I also liked yours, but i am trying to go for a futuristic, yet somewhat worn down, look.

Well then you could start by not basing it on the sprite of a futuristic sniper by Coops.

owned Worry not, I started thousands of devices using unitec's devices.

oh... I see what you did there...

Urch@: If it's not against your style, you could make that "less white spot" a glass bulb that glows when you shoot the gun, most of the time it compensates for blank areas.

I was making a sprite of white wings, but it was so awful, that I decided to ask for help here.Could someone help me with it?

this would be redundant as the front of the gun already does this.

i still need help on my sprites.

How are these?

Too much outline in some areas, not enough in others.

Not to mention the size.

Scale them down a bit.
