Looks pretty sweet, though I'm not familiar with the actual rifle, so I can't really tell you if it's good in terms of accuracy.

yup thanks.

In terms of accuracy, I think I messed up on the top part of the gun's barrel. and I'm missing a very important fold-up sight on the middle section of the main frame of the gun. I did put the sight on the tip the barrel though.

overall, I think I got most of it down pretty good.

For MSPaint, that is ridiculously good. If you use more powerful programs, my mom's cat is crawling underneath the Christmas tree, you might be able to produce professional-level results.

everybody knows it's true

My knowledge of WWII FPSes say that this is as good as it gets.

Okay, I can't find any possible meaning for the middle of that sentence in context.

That M2k2 guy

If it gets any realer, his mom's cat is going to be afraid and run under a tree.

He was just doing a non sequitur in attempt to be funny. It didn't really work imo.

Well I've found, it burns when I pee, that you have to have PERFECT execution to pull one of those off.

Thank you. yea the pixels are larger in paint than programs such as adobe photoshop ofcourse. I'm looking to get an advanced program for christmas. But for right now, I'm using all of what MSpaint will provide for creating art/designs such as this.

A pixel is a pixel, what your mostly missing is Anti-aliasing. Nothing you can do about that in paint.

Photoshop does allow you to set the pixel size, though. Not that it really matters for even a professional graphic designer, because very few, if any, monitors can show anything higher than the 96 square (?) on Apple ones. Also, anti-aliasing wouldn't be the only thing he could use that a more powerful program could provide.

Bananas GOOD, Kremlings BAD

In Mspaint, the closest you can get to an anti-alias is if you save a bmp file as a jpg, which produces that blurr.

Uhhh, no. In MsPaint, there is no 'anti-alias my picture plz' option in the menu, like in nub utilities like Photoshop. You need to do such things yourself.

That doesn't mean they can't be done, it just means they can't be done by everyone.

(Hint: That gun picture is the perfect size, and uses the perfect number of colours, for by-hand antialiasing.)
