Here is a shot. The outline tracing was ok imo, but making the details was harder and choosing colors and don't look to "flat". (the leather grips looks a bit "unrealistic")

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Better.

I think you have a good thing going there.
I recommend to take the outlines and fill it with shadows and highlights

Thanks for comments. Ya, I made these with knowledge that shadows and highlights were missing. Tried a bit, but got no really idea how you do that properly. Any tips?

EDIT: Also made a PPSh-41.

I would highly recommend learning how to do gradients. They're very helpful.

Your details are good. But the coloring needs more definition.
