Also hard surface modeling has evolved a lot lately, this makes weapon modelling much easier. You should take a look at the rounded shader of Blender 2.79.1 in the latest buildbot (discussion about it: https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?436279-V-ray-got-rounded-hard-edge-shader ). The bevel shader will smooth every angles during the render or the baking (works on the normal map bake!). It works without using boolean just by intersecting meshes and works great with difference text boolean. An example without using subdivision surfaces but only edge splits and bevel shader:
We hope that in the future because it's new to Blender, the rounded edge effect will only be applied to hard edges to save performances.
