So let's get straight to it! I'll be showing you how to get 1:1 scale in Pepakura Designer (for papercraft)
First, let's find a gun in New Vegas with a real-world counterpart! In this case, we'll do the 9mm! if you look on the internet movie firearm database (link to site below) it says that the 9mm is based off the Browning Hi-Power Pistol.
Now, if we look up the length of the gun in millimeters, we find out that it is 197mm.
With Pepakura Designer open with the 9mm model loaded, click "unfold" in the toolbar, then you'll see tabs for height, width, and depth. With the model correctly oriented, the length measurement of the Browning Hi-Power will fall into the depth tab in Pepakura Designer.
When you enter the Browning length (197) into that tab, you'll get the true 1:1 scale- which is "9.956462" for that gun! you will have to do this for each gun on the site.
The issue, like GhostMinion says, is that the scales for the pistols are not the same as the scales for rifles or big guns. So if you want to scale a gun like the gatling laser, use a scale from rifles, I recommend getting the scale from the .45 auto smg from the Honest Hearts DLC
I hope you found this useful! Have a great day! please comment if you found this useful, have a question, or want to add anything!!!
