Could you not have the grip/stock main section in one 512 by xxx map, and everything else in a different map ?
For example have the barrel, trigger, clip, tac rail etc in a separate map of its own, and have the main body of the rifle in its own map ??
Splitting this up into multiple maps without any modelled "seperators" (height differences, corners....) will just result in the skin having a visible edge in some place.
You could seperate all the small, seperated parts, but the big one is the problem.
What is wrong with having a really wide texture map (3:1 or something) for the long plain part, and a normal (1:1) map for the rest of the model ?

way, but you would NEED to get more detail on the

dimension.
So what stretching like this would do is simple:
It puts more detail on only one dimension , leading to some horrible stretching and pixel crunching.
Just model on some height differences, one between the main body and the stock, and one between the main grip and trigger section.
:EDIT: You could have a look at many real guns to get a look of such "borders" which you could use to modify the model.
For example the XM8.

And I painted in the lines to make it more visible.
However, I was talking about the aspect ratio of the texture map, not the scale.
For example, could you not have a 512x256 map for the main body, and a 512x512 map for the rest of the gun ?
I see what you're saying though and I'll look into adding some height differences

I'm gonna start meshing this myself, but the maps will be crappy. PM me for the .3DS if you want this to have decent maps.
