Glock 17- A+ Picture Quality - F Nice pistol, I am seriously thinking about one of those. Or a G 26.

2 mega pixels is plenty for a little picture like what you posted. Your problems appear to be:
1) lighting (not enough) 2) focal distance (it looks like the camera was too close to the gun for it to focus) 3) potentially the quality of the optics on your camera (although taking care of 1 and 2 above should help a lot) 4) improperly supported camera during picture shot, otherwise known as your damn shaky hands (might be because the exposure time was long because there wasn't enough light)
Try taking it again. Remember, get far enough away from the gun that your camera can actually focus. Then use a simple image editor to crop out all the stuff you don't want seen in your picture. Finally, if required, rescale to a smaller pixel size for web posting.

Looks like crappy camera phone photography to me. Still don't know why people get suckered into buying those useless things.

Do they have 2 mega pixel camera phones? I thought most of those were VGA (640x480).
I agree with you completely Bigmack, making a hand sketch of something with your eyes closed will generally look better than a picture of the same thing with a camera phone.

Camera phones are as useless as those phones with walkee-talkees.
Oh and bigmack, you're right I am a noob I've only been playing airsoft for a year. I just played so much I forgot.

The lure of camera phones are that they are more easily portable and more typical then a regular camera. Can you make a phone call on your regular digital camera? Didn't think so, nor is it as compact as a camera phone. Don't flame, my opinion as you guys have already stated yours.
[2 cents] I never liked G17's, personally. I always thought their slide assembly was to long and their grip was also to long. It wouldn't fit my hand well, heck my G19 barely does. I always thought better show piece then practical use.[/2 cents]

MadBomber -
Huge improvement in your second round of pictures. The bottom two are still a little on the underlit side, but they at least appear to be in focus!
Thanks for the second effort, nice gun.
For lighting, you might find that soft diffuse light will look better than the brighter "bulb" shine effect that you can get with an unshaded bulb. If you have ever seen professional photo lighting equipment, they usually have the light bulbs directed into a big shiny umbrella, this is to diffuse the light. You can achieve similar effects without the pro level stuff with a little improvisation.
