One size doesn't fit all is true for helmets, but for guns, if you have big hands, small hands, normal hands, there is just one "real" size of course. ;) If you WANT to scale it to fit your hand better, then you're MAKING it a "problem". And it kinda depends on the kind of gun you're making if you can make it with cardstock or if you need foamboard. The main body of the bolter that was being made, was basically just a hollow, empty box. So yeah, that would have needed some serious reinforcing. But from the looks of it Ninjatoes' NES Zapper for instance was really designed to be "usuable" at 1:1 scale when made with normal cardstock (it says 200 gsm in the instructions and I made mine with it and it is VERY strong! You can't stand on it (I think) but you can hold it firmly and it won't even buckle!) but it's designed very differently from most papercrafts: not hollow, but almost like the real thing, with parts reinforcing each other as you glue them together, only in the handle there is some extra reinforcement, but that's also just 200 gsm cardstock.
