You have to get seams somewhere: think of it like a net to a box. You must split up the edges to fold it down to a 2D shape.

 

For me, I just use the 'Unwrap' feature when unwrapping bodies. For weapons or hard objects, however, I just use 'Project from View' and stitch the different mapped parts together.
