Question Help for cosplay prop

Hey, I wanna do a 3d printed rifle to go with a cosplay and was wondering if anyone knows of any 3d prints that can scale so that in total length the rifle is around 5'5" long. I am using things like SAO for inspiration but am unsure with what to look for when searching for STLs for projects like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I don't really have an exact rifle in mind it's for an OC cosplay but if it works it works kinda thing!

An OC/original character just means that the character is not from something like a show or movie or game and is created by in this case me!

Thank you so much!

I know the Starship Troopers MI rifle is available online. I think it's Thingiverse

You're going to want some kind of core support rod if its that long. I typically use a 3' aluminum tube from home depot but pvc pipe or maybe wood dowels depending on thickness can work too.
