Maybe you already met with this problem: you need to create very angular object,but if you try to do that it´s till not that what you want (picture)
but you want it looks like this one:
What you must do? It's very simply select all faces (CTRL-A) and press U.
Smooth and Sharp Edges, Working with cylinders.
Look at this muzzle before using Sharp edges:
Little bit ugly, dont you think? Nevermind! we'll repair it, select all “start places” of all cylinders.

NOTE: Don't sharp all faces on cylinder
Sharp only the edges!
