I think you've got more chance of getting hired if you make something other than guns. Say if I was taking application for a modern server I would specially say no guns, no heads/bodies. Anyone can make those things, instead you want someone to show what they can do with a car, traffic lights, a tileset and so on. Aim higher than just guns or weapons.

The last time I applied for a graphics position I applied with a Japanese pagoda, a statue, a dragon, an inventory and a set if miniature characters (originally made for D&D type board game server). Just mix it up and show a wide variety of different things.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do!
