Or you can do it my way:

1. Open google
2. Find your weapon ironsight picture
3. Model it in SLAB6 as best as possible.
4. Strech your screen down a bit, or go fullscreen
5. Press "T" for nicer blocks effect
6. Press "R" twice
7. Set backroung color to bright white or other color that weapon does not have.
8. Align the ironsight
9. Take screenshot
10. Open it through GIMP (If you don't have it - Download it)
11. Add alpha channel.
12. Cut out white background
13. Make sure all letters, numbers and cursor are cut out too.
14. Add your little aiming thingy.
15. Create new file (800x600 with alpha channel)
16. Paint center of the screen in 4 pixels. Center of the screen is 400,300 ; 400,301 ; 401,300 ; 401,301
17. Copy your ironsight to new file and align it with red dot. Your aiming thingy should cover only 2 pixels of it.
18. Then delete rest of the red blocks
19. Cut out the aiming thingy area and add it as a new layer.
20. Switch to other layer and add blur to it through: Tools>GEGL>Box-blur (2-1 is fine)
21. Press right click on the aiming thingy layer and select "Merge down"
22. Then use color picker tool to get color and paint small spaces that bluring created.
23. If you are happy with it click save or save as.
24. Save it as "Filename.png"

Press the Print Screen/SysRq (on some keyboards it will be PrtScrn or something like that) key above and to the right of the Backspace button. Press it, then open a image editing program, like Paint.NET or GIMP, or even MS Paint. Press Ctrl+v, and make some minor editing if you want. Press Save As... and save it as .png if you expect to make a sight out of it, or .jpg if it is a preview pic.

Open the Pallete, select a color and click B while with your mouse above it.

just as an extra tip, if you hold alt+prtsc it will only screenshot the current window you've opened. eg) hitting alt+prtsc will only screenshot the slab6 window if it is opened. it's pretty useful since you don't have to cut the window out of your current background.
