Description
Been playing a demo for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker slated for the PSP system.

While playing, you can choose and use a handful of weapons, represented by icons that the crew at Konami put together.

Since I'm a bit of a gun nut, and one of my hobbies is making icon-sized versions of multiple types of firearms, I felt I could a much better job at making (some of) the weapon icons look better on screen.

I figured I'd share some of the weapons that I've tackled.

Each icon on the left is Konami's original. Each was reproduced by eye and using good ol' MS Paint, I was not supplied with the original icon to work with, so each of the "original" icons might be off by a pixel or two.

Each of the icons on the right are my improvements to the original designs.

In the case of the "Frag" grenade, I chose a couple designs that were available during the 1973-ish period that the game takes place.
