No, never tried that. I've heared Wings has a pretty good UV Unwrapper too. Not sure if auto unwrapping can be useful for all kinds of meshes. I'd prefer to do a box mapping and then correct things, scale parts depending on its priority etc.

Sometimes cylinder mapping is a better choice to start with, for barrels, columns etc.

Actually this gun isn't done very well, compared to real pro stuff.
