Soulblydd is the pro, I'm just a copycat.

You can use your magic wand or quick selection to grab the parts you don't need and delete them, crop/center the remaining image and voila! Or you can wade through the deep ends and use the pen for precision, just outline the edge where the gun ends and the background begins.

There are things like refine edges and feathering to make it fancy and smooth (google some tutorials if you're interested)
