If you're going to resize, at least touch it up before posting it. Redo the obvious artifacts of shrinking and add a black outline so it looks good ingame. (It makes a big difference)
Also, if you have to zoom in to tell a weapon's shaded, it needs more contrast. If you have photoshop or a clone, upping contrast is a nice help, although high powered programs really aren't a must for images as small as Soldat weapons.
