How to texture a Xm8 in blender?

It is hard to answer a generic question like that. In a basic manner, you have to consider the following steps:

  • Unwrap UV, you should give the high-detail parts of the model the bigger UV spaces than the others.
  • Bring that UV map into an image editor (gimp, photoshop), paint the texture or just copy from the image of the real gun.
  • Make a variety of textures: diffuse, normal, specular…depends on your need.
